Lots of time and persistence.
We bought a curve-bladed carpenter's knife for this purpose alone, and Joe, who has cut the four current pieces of tread, has expressed at least a little malcontentedness at having to cut them, but apparently the smaller cuts are the hardest (the tapered angle cuts, and the ~1cm sideways cuts).
Mr. Van: Very interesting way of attaching the tread. As I said earlier, I'll look into the legality of the whole thing later (Just about to leave the house to go to today's robotics meeting).
Bill: I'm fairly certain that they were, in fact, 6-32 screws. Oh well, I'll check, and edit the picture information accordingly, later.
