Like was previously posted, yes they do exist. I too can't remember
who puts them out. However, be aware they're in the $30-35 range, so
you'll spend more for the tracks then you did the kit.
As far as assembling rubberized tracks, one trick is to "wire" them
together. Since you can't see the upper portion of the tracks, even
wire them to the return rollers - or whatever the Whippet has. Not
only will the tracks stay together, but there will be sag induced, as
well. Again, probably not important with the Whippet.
