Hey RatPatrol,
The closest metal Sherman tracks to the T54E2 Cuff pattern that I know of are the T54E1 Chevron pattern tracks. They are made by fruilmodelismo and are available from CMD.
http://www.chesapeakemodels.com/ Hope they are close enough to your needs.

RatPatrol,are you looking for the tracks to be made in metal? Or just a set of indy links for a Sherman that are of the metal chevron type? RHPS makes a great set in plastic of the T54E1 that your looking for Thet cost $20 U,S. They are the working type and snap together real easy
They can be found at squadron.com modelmecca.com and other mail order places

Thanks guy"s!!! Well i will be honest, i have been out of the hobby for about ten years,never had time to spare when i was a teen,you know chasing girls,parties, cars,all that fun teenage stuff,but now that i"m an old married man in my early thirties i have seem to have plenty of time.I recently built a dragon sherman that i had for quite some time and the tracks were a little tricky and i heard about these metal tracks that you pin together and to me that seems a lot better than fitting with the out of the box tracks,plus people say the detail is much better.
