Sorry - jumping in late here - as to the issue of loose drive sprockets; if the vehicle interior will allow, I will drill out the sprocket axle holes in the chassis tub and run that piece of plastic rod all the way across the vehicle for even more support for the sprockets. (Especially on Shermans! I wish I could do the same for the Sherman rear idlers but alas no.)

Man the instructions really suck on this kit.
They aren't clear where B5 goes, Here is how it goes.

This above is the engine cover.
If you don't install C33 & C34 first before the small armor plates you'll never get them in.

Trim to fit as shown.
