M2A1 105mm howitzer

[Tony R]

Hi Giles,

Here is a photo of what I'm looking for, its from a friend of mine who also has a 105. The threaded stud that you see was cut off by the guy who de-milled the guns in Greece, luckily his bit was kept with the gun, mine was thrown away. The flanged nut was a lucky find by him, it looks very close to the original. So, I'm looking for a 1 1/8" diameter threaded stud or bolt at least 4" long with a UNF thread and a flanged nut to fit.

It would be great if someone could point me in the right direction as I failed to find much at all on the internet.



This photo shows what happens when Mr Sledge Hammer meets Mr Quadrant Mount. Nastey!



A number of fittings have been smashed off and thrown away. I would really like to find a replacement.

Thanks for the heads up Terry, I'll try to contact Jean-Baptiste, Google translator works wonders!!!

Thanks to all who have posted, really appreaciate it.
