Plastic cutting boards.

(side note) the front idler wheel on the full scale M60 Patton and M1abrams seems to have a device that is linked to the first road wheel. This accomplishes/maintains track tension when the road wheel travels twords the hull. Does any one have any info on this. It may be a while before I can check it out on an M60 Patton.

Paul,
There is significant less tension needed now. Judging by the travel of the idler shaft when tensioning I now use 2/3 of the tension needed before the modification.
In my opinion you can use any kind of plastic you like, I had some PE lying around so I used this. Just look for a shop that supplies plastic sheet material and you'll be able to cut the cleats to size using a table saw. Some shops over here do cut for customers for a small fee.
