Hennetec Track adjuster for Leopard 2A6

Post by HammerWihoutASickle »

Hello everyone!

I was hoping for help on how to install the track adjuster from Hennetec for the Leopard 2A6 - the instructions are in German so I haven't the faintest clue on how to use it properly - and the images only gave me a general idea on how to use it. This is my first time using something like this, so I'd really appreciate the help.

Thanks in advance.

An excellent, and timely, intervention Guido. :thumbup: That's also useful information for others doing suspension upgrades.

That second to last picture, or third picture (second not showing for me), it looks like the wheel spindle is in that half of the wheel the wrong way around?!

Done with the installation. It was simple enough and I can rid myself of that blasted slippage. Many thanks to Guido for the response and English translation - I'll be posting it in the relevant forum for those who need help with it just like I did.

A few things though - the tracks did try getting stuck when in motion but that's corrected by moving the idlers to the side that allows for some spacing between the tracks and hull.
If you have a large speaker, you might have to move it back a bit to accommodate for the metal tube.
The stock plastic hull on the HL Leopard has grooves on the inside to keep the screw and holder for the idler from moving about. You might need to drill into that and increase its size to allow the mounts for the idler which comes with the kit to fit without being offset.

That is all.

Good day everyone.
