Terence,

I have not tried this, so I don't know if it will work.
But why bother? The Tamiya kit has not the best suspension out there, and the turret is not very good either. Besides, this is a late version, with the side armor over a folding MG mount, plus a rear stowage box on the hull to accompany this. Tracks are awful, with the end connectors on every link, instead of between them to connect them together. Rob has designed his lower hull to accept the AFV Club suspension so does not necessarily fit the Tamiya suspension.

Solution? Get AFV Club's suspension, tracks and maybe a new turret. Source? The AFV Club Stuart V kit ... :)

Best, MartinD
