Sorry guys, me again. She has been off her build stand for the first time today. Drove her down the ramps up four steps and to the end of the garden and back again.
My question is how do I determine how tight the tracks should be. I don’t want to under or over tighten them. The last thing I want is to damage them.
Your help again would be much appreciated.
Thanks Martin.

Re: Leopard 2A4 track tension
Martin, the build manual states between 10 & 20 mm deflection in the tracks. I presume this is measured on the middle of the top run.
Hope this helps.

Re: Leopard 2A4 track tension
Will have to check this also, ran down the ramps yesterday and around the Cul-de-sac to see how it looked, lots of twisting and turning with no lose end caps, think the mod worked ok.
now for the rest of the build.
