I have not used the UNI SSB.  It looks very nice.
However, I have two concerns.

1)  The standard 76 mm width would be suitable for
small tanks (Hetzer #T010 uses 82 mm inch wide Intralox
plastic conveyor) but the standard 152 width is probably
too wide.

2)  Track must have "guide horns" (as shown in the
attached photo of PzKw 5 Panther track links) so that
the track will not move laterally under the road wheels
during skid turns.

These are called "tracking tabs" on conveyor belting.
I attached an end view drawing of Intralox conveyor
used on Hetzer #T010 that shows tracking tabs.

I did not see any options for tracking tabs with
the UNI SSB.

You can contact the manufacturer to see if they can
provide tracking tabs.  Otherwise, you must attach
your own tracking tabs.

Best wishes,
Joe
