Semovente [TANKS]

[Barry Irick <scrocks-at-sbcglobal.net>]

should get sprocket wheels and idlers mounted this week.  then can measure for track length so can figure no. of hinges needed.  3/16" / 5mm Al rivets largest that will fit in rivet gun and hold pieces together. Steel rivets only avail. up to 3mm.  Since they'll be short, and alot of them, gonne see if collective strength and low leverage (due to short length) will hold up to stress.  Gonna use left over Al angle bracing (from bogie axle supports) bolted to floor, to reinforce for tensioners off the back hull plate.  Add'l pics coming afterwards.
