You must have used super glue on them. Next time you do the link to link use regular old Testors tube glue, this sets up a lot slower and you can generally get a whole side done and shaped to the track before the glue totally sets up. Sorry I can't help you with a set of tracks, but maybe this will help next time you do the link to link

Academy have a set for a tiger "ac1364 Tiger I Tread Blocks"
also dragon/DML "dr3810 Track Links 66cm Transport Type"
... although they are both indy links also. They might be worth trying out as they are quite cheap! Dont know much about their quality or if they are the right style though!
Fruil have some also
fratl06 .... Tracks Tiger I, Sturmtiger, Late Rubber Tire
fratl25 .....Tracks Tiger I early rubber tire types
fratl26 .....Tracks Tiger I Transport
A bit more expensive but look great when completed. No problems for a first timer either!

Don't know if this would help ask SS-74 if he has any!!
He lives in Hong Kong might be up your ally.
