Yes, they are the right grills. (https://www.scalemates.com/kits/132724- ... grille-set)
Scalemates is very handy for things like this.
I think you need the ATL-25 TIGER I early for this butt I'm not 100% sure. The kits for the ATL-116 are all late versions. (https://www.scalemates.com/kits/142642- ... 16-tiger-i)

Thsoe are fine, or you can use something like Alliance Modelwerks grills or any other company. I found one by a company called Gum-Ka once on ebay for like 4 dollars. It's what I'm using on my Tamiya DAK right now. Almost any Tiger 1 grills will do.

Mamannloon is spot on most grills will fit fine .
as for the tracks there are Fruilmodelismo ones (metal indy link workable)
Modelkasten ( very high end mouldings /Plastic indy link workable)
both are superb ! and I usually get the Friuls . From Historex Agents You need ATL-25 as stated above .
http://www.historexagents.com/shop/hxshop.php Can't recommend these guys enough .VERY VERY reliable and fast shipping .
Modelkasten eBay or Amazon , not too easy to get in the UK/Europe .

can i use Tamiya Extra thin Cement to glue it in place?

[Darklen]

CA glue only. Plastic glues don't work on metal.

My suggestion is Bob Smith Industries. One of the slower types that comes in a purple colored bottle. It's actually the main CA sold here in the US as most hobby stores put their own logo on it and sell it as their store brand.

i dont seem to be able to find that, but i will go to my local hobby store and see if them have something like that

It will work but I would advice something like this (http://www.emodels.co.uk/zap-products-s ... pt-20.html) it gives you more working time.
Or (http://www.emodels.co.uk/zap-a-gap-ca-1 ... pt-03.html) witch is a bit faster.

While you're at it definitely buy (http://www.emodels.co.uk/zap-products-z ... pt-16.html) or something similar.
You will not be the first to glue himself to the model or PE part.

Super thin may dry too fast, but if you're quick about it you may be fine.
