M151A2 door mounting?

[paul53]

Hi Dave,

I found some pictures I had taken some time ago, another fella in my town has a M151A2 that he brought up from the states. You can see how the U.S. ones use the roll bar as well as the canvas support rods. He has never insured it for the road and lets his grand kids drive it around on the farm.

Thought some one might be intrested to see how the U.S. builds them...

Thanks for the pictures Paul, You have a nice looking MUTT there. I look forward to the pictures of the horizontal and vertical rods and some measurements if possible.

Hi Dave, Thanks she's a fun buggy to drive around

Here's a few shots of the left door frame mounted, I'll PM you the measurments for the rods, but you can kind of see how it works from here. Because I removed the CDN roll bar I'm using the U.S. top system, but I also can use the CDN doors, I have other verticle curtain rods made due to the iniside door closer using the roll bar to keep the doors closed.

As for the verticle curtain rod , it's 3/8 rod with a 12 inch long 1 inch wide flat bar welded to it. I ran out of room for pictures on this post so i'll put more on the next. There is also a horizontal rod from the windshield to curtian rod for door opening

I have enough items to make it look U.S. or back to stock CDN , the fender mirrors I removed but have them still as well as the grill/screen guard.


I did dig out a N.O.S. olive drab set of doors and curtains from when I purchased them last year, so i'll PM you on that idea if your intrested.
