I believe those are the spare track mounting racks.

I believe those are the spare track mounting racks.

I thought so too but I could not figure out which way to attach the spare track link into it. It does not fit somehow :-(

Here’s where they are on the Sherman.

I see. So I need to trim my track links to look like that in order to slide them thru. Then put a plastic or metal cover at the front. Thank you!

Ok I did it. I filled in some track links in that rack and covered it up. Here what my M10 looks like so far. I did not want to pay over $700 for a mato one with all the problems in the components. So I have been buying pieces here and there. At this time I am looking for a set of front and rear light to complete the tank. Does anyone have a M10 so we can exchange info? Thanks!
