    Spare track links around the turret are the way to go externally - as on the Centurions in SVn. Manganese steel, tough as old boots, made to take a lot of punishment and there's always plenty of spare/new/used ones in the tank parks as each track set (was it 105 if my memory sevres me correctly but feel free to correct me...) came with two extra links. Internally the trusty old and flexible sandbag was the answer
