Now that I have a good idea on how the fire extinguisher bracket needs to be made does anyone have some close up pictures of the spare valves and parts case box and dimensions of it as seen in the picture as I need to make that box up unless some one has a spare they want to sell


It will be a little slow going on the assembly now but I have to start to do some more fabrication as I need to make up some engine covers as well as the front sand shields and a few other items.



On another point as I get ready to get the seats cushions made up I have seen carrier illustrations with the front lower cushion D section pointed to the front and also with it pointed to the rear, Which is the proper way or is there one ?? Also the lift the dot fasteners on the front of the seat frame is there suppose to be straps on the seat cushion that would hook to them like the CMP ??

Just thought I would ad this little tip that worked for me. Was talking with my friend today and the topic came up regarding the fuse that is for the lights and goes in the separate holder with cover inside the dash panel. As we were able to get new ones but the fuse section did not have the wire on the board. As I was looking for something totally different I stumbled upon a fuse that was used in my Saturn under the hood and it looked very close in size as the original unit. The fuse was rated at 30 amps which I thought was too much for the headlights/tail lights so I took it and snipped in the middle of the fuse link as there was a small hole there from factory so I thought that if the whole fuse link was 30A that half of it would be around 15A. After the snip I just wrapped some electrical tape around it so no possibility of shorting out on anything

Interesting question regarding the seating cushions for the driver and gunner. Where there are multiple factory images and NOS samples of the seat cushion you describe with the rounded portion (faces rearward, pardon the pun) ...

There is a square seat cushion with lift-the-dot fasteners for both the MK-I* and MK-II*. The cushion has cut-outs to lock the internal wire spring frame under the metal tabs at the rear of the supporting seat frame. The two lift-the-dot male fasteners are located at the front of the supporting seat frame. That cushion is similar to the CMP, but for the material and square shape only. As the carrier is open to the weather, the material is not plain canvas.

In addition to the seat cushions, there is the square kneeling pad. Two found on the MK-I*, strapped together in the wood seat frame over the driver side fuel tank.
