4.1.6 Test Rail
Several important steps in the installation process require access to a section of test rail, or
fabrication of simulated rails. The gauge of the test rails (or simulated rails) must match the
gauge the Railgear was manufactured for. One set of simulated rails is required for each end of
the vehicle. Build simulated rails from heavy wall steel tubing. Recommended dimensions are
shown below in Figure 4.1.6
