Thanks for the advice guys, it seems there were a few ways to attach them to the glacis. I've started to really like the hooks method, it looks nice. I can make them easily from PE set sprue.
i'll post some pics when they're done. Your efforts are much more elegant though afv!
Cheers,
Rik

I believe I have seen somewhere that the tracklinks was mounted with tubes and wires welded on the plate. Let me see if I can find some pictures for you about this.

Thank you for the pictures steen. They are excellent shots. What do you think the wires were tied to on the upper hull?
Cheers,
Rik

well, I havent really seen any pictures from above, but will try to look into the books again.
The pictures are from books "Tigers on the Eastern Front" Tiger Battalion 503" and "Tigers in Combat"
All are fantastic books with at lot of details.
