Penzoil3 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Found a solid alternative. Tired of gluing the Track Clip back together. Just too flimsy... Sue http://www.trackhat.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hi Sue. Yea mine broke as well, think they all do in time, to flimsy. Make sure you go for the Track hat clip and not the hat thingy. Check out the guy on YouTube, Frooglesim, he's has done a review of both. Not bought one yet can not make up my mind. Derek.

Penzoil3 Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 No, went with the clip, to replace the Track Clip Pro junk. It came broken in the factory package, from e-bay. I just glued it and went on. Lasted 4 years, better than the previous one that arived intact, and lasted 2 years.. Watched the video before deciding to buy. With shipping, it cost about the same, and should last a lot longer. Looks quite solidly made. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chumley Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Thanks for the tip off Sue. Frooglesim video is quite compelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Harrell Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Also check out the link below. My track clip pro also broke. After doing some research, will probably go for this replacement: http://www.delanengineering.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James@trackhat Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hi there Guys, I noticed a lot of traffic coming from the Orbx forums, so I thought I would create a 2nd account in order to help you out and answer your questions about TrackHat.org So please ask away! James Founder, TrackHat. Just looked at the linked site and the device is out of stock at the present time. Spud, we are not currently out of stock, but due to current high demand, we sadly have a 1-2 week delay on all orders. My apologies! Our small team is working on refining our manufacturing process, and as a young company, we are getting close to finding out our demand to manufacturing balance.

MrUnSavory1 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Need to be careful with them. I have had mine for 6 years and it has not broken yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoil3 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Hello- "It came broken in the factory package, from e-bay. I just glued it and went on." That was four years ago ! Been very careful for it to last this long. James, for a solidly made product; I think it's worth the wait ! LOL Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Sue, mind my asking what kind of glue you used to bind the plastic? Have not found anything that really works very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeBird Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Sue, mind my asking what kind of glue you used to bind the plastic? Have not found anything that really works very good. I use aluminum tape cut into 4 1/4 by 1.5 inch strips and then raped around the broken area. This has worked for years. The aluminum tape is stiffer than electrical tape so once taped it wont move. I did tape it in the desired position as you wont be able to move it afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 That's the method I've used in the past. Just curious as to what cement works with Delrin Plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 That's the method I've used in the past. Just curious as to what cement works with Delrin Plastic. A CA type of adhesive should work great.... http://www.palmlabsadhesives.com/GroupList/Cyanoacrylate-Adhesive-Industrial-Grade?gclid=CJzCma-WmsgCFRAvaQodf_0J2w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoil3 Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 Spud , I used silicone seal. More of an external brace, than an actual gluing, LOL Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 My 2 cents, If glue won't work and you don't have aluminium tape I found that electrical tape worked really well for my broken track clip similar to what Freebirds solution above is but with the tape in a crossover configuration. It's now more sturdy than ever, even crazy glue didn't work on it. Hope I've helped a bit, if not, sorry for budding in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Casey Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Iv'e used my Hot Glue Gun on mine. Seems to work OK however recently had to re do it as it came apart again after about 12 months use. I'm pretty careful with it & have it attached to an old lightweight head set microphone(no ear muffs) & I hang it from a hook in a nearby windowsill. Even so it still got broken.

Tim Harris Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Mines now attached to my old headset permanently (also arrived broken in the mail), its now about 50% gaffa-tape and works great Plus as an added bonus...wearing my horns is always guaranteed to raise a smile from any visitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
