Hi Glen....
i have fitted a set of Tankmodelbau adjusters to a KT belonging to a friend , they have proved reliable and were an easy fit .
I have posted a link to Steve at welsh Dragon who sells them ...

You will also need the asiatam rear idler wheels with bearings to use the tensioners , also sold by Steve .
Good luck

Do you know if the tension can be adjusted with the tank together, or does the upper hull have to be removed?

With the Tank Modellbau set you have to remove the top Hull to access the main nut on the adjuster arm . Hope that helps
