Turn signals and seat belts

[Les Kovacs]

Hi Elvis,

I just newly licensed a 67's M38A1 here in Ontario about 3 weeks ago. I do have military installed seat belts & turn signals but when I went to do my safety & then get it plated....both the garage and Service Ontario said that they are not required because they originally did not come with them from the factory....I was told by an ex mechanic in CFB Petawawa that the seat belts & turn signals were added by DOD in the early 80's just before the M38A1's were replaced.

Les: Your mechanic is not telling you the truth. Those were both in the Jeeps, either from the factory (the signals) or add-on (the seatbelts) long before the 1980s.

Hello

Based on the information for Ontario. Seatbelts added or modified must be done so by an authorized person, such as a dealership or vehicle manufacture. General mechanics and those in the category where I fit in do not qualify.

Lighting is different and anybody can upgrade or improve lighting. I made an LED light bar to attach to my Willys MBT when being pulled by my GPW.
It can also be hooked up on my GPW as it uses the trailer plug in.

It gives better lighting but can be removed without modifications.

sorry no photos ... yet.
