I love it, it is encouraging for me as a model builder to know that the historical accuracy is not compromised by towing a 1/6 tank with only one FAMO instead of the normal three.

I slipped these on quickly. What a great milestone! I’ll do the other side when we get back from the farm.

The sprockets get fixed at 16.5mm spacing from the hull side, is that correct?

Thank you in advance.

Brian

To line it all up , install the tracks and leave the sprocket fixing just a tad loose, all the track horns should line up in the middle of the road wheel corresponding slots, gently pull the tracks around without the key in place . Eye it all up and when your happy install the key and tighten the sprocket tapper bush, then the counter sink screw and washer. The distance of the sprocket from the hull depends on how tight the suspension arms are against the hull bushes. Theres not a lot in it but get it correct and it will run like a dream! Hope this helps regards Phil.

Ok that all sounds pretty straightforward. I don’t know what csk screw and washer are you talking about?
