Glad people can use the information.As I recall,my wirecutter on my M38A1 CDN 2 jeep left me with a wound or at least a ripped shirt at one time! A fairly simple project that adds to the vehicle.Be careful!

Derk,
After seeing the diagrams, I went down to the shop and started making the parts. Cut the plates and drilled them. Cut the short peices and put an angle to the blade. But, do to the warnings, stopped short of making them knife edge. But, I put the project on hold, I didn't have the exact angle iron, so I had to stop. Repainted the bumpers today, to get the wrong CFR numbers off. Replaced the transfer case rear seal and took the slop out of the parking brake. Cutter should be ready by the weekend. The info is very helpful.
Thanks,
Bob M.

Derk,
Thanks for another project. Installed the wire cutter and the new correct numbers today.
Radio parts on the way. Anything else I should know? Did the Olive Drab jeeps have Canadian flag red and white decals on them? Where if so. I've seen them on the front bumper, hood cowles, front fender, rear bumper. Was this radom?
Attached is up to date picture.

Hi Bob,
Jeep looks good.Nice job on the wirecutter.I was looking at pictures of my M38A1 CDN 2 when I brought it home and it was camoflouged already and had no markings other than the CFR number stencilled on the dash and that was it.More than likely it's last paint job left it bare of markings as nobody restencilled anything on the outside where unit markings are usually present.
My 5/4 ton had a camoflouged paint job and had a red maple leaf and unit tach sign on the hood and rear bumper as well as a call sign on the doors and a bridge class number on the front bumper so I would imagine the jeeps would also have these markings on them.Maybe somebody else can add to the markings their jeeps had after service with the Canadian army.
Do you plan on adding anything else to the jeep like a radio set,decontamination cannister,Sterling SMG bracket,FN rifle mounts,Fire extinguisher,etc.I will see what other CFTO's I have you can use for your jeep! We don't want our projects to come to an end do we?
Derk.
