Hi Chrys, Just an idea here. I don't know how close the tolerances are between the hull and wheel or drive gear that is going on the outside, but if using some body filler doesn't fit the bill, maybe you could try something like a liquid rubber coating by applying it on the surface from the outside. You would have to temporarily insert some type of a filler from the inside (that could be removed after the liquid rubber coating drys), but you would probably need to apply it in some real thick coatings. The type I am referring to is not hard to find in hardware stores. They use it for coating tools, so it should in theory, adhere to the metal hull on your tank. I guess the good thing about using it would be that it would be real easy to repair it if it gets worn or torn. Just an idea...

There are ball bearings behind this gap.
