Hi Eric

Picture you found is of the round hatch on my HUP. See http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.com/ http://www.canadianmilitarypattern.com/Posting.html

The little L shape tabs are to keep rain water from being driven up under the canvas hatch and dribble through the two holes for the hatches draw strap.

I don't know what the other bracket toward the front.

Cheers Phil

HI Eric

The two brackets you removed should have been left there..... they are part of the brackets that holds the tarp cover inplace when you remove it. You should be able to mig weld them in place without too much trouble

I am not sure about the other holes...... the one with 3 bolts could be for a snorkel running to the top of the engine cover...... do you have a picture fo the top of your engine cover....?? these were very late conversions and very few actually exists..... you may have a missmatched top or engine cover.

The other hole with 6 bolts may have been for an radio antenna base.... it looks the right size.......again not a common conversion..... maybe one of a kind field modification.

Hi Bob,
Is this what you taking for the engine cover

Bob Carriere · #10 20-11-09, 03:33

I can't tell if it is a pinup picture from your girl friend or a piece of sheet metal....

For God's sake take the engine cover out for a good picture.....

Do the hole in the top line up with the hole in the engine cover...?

There was a mount to hold the extendible antenna mast (either 20 or 34 foot versio) on vehicle roofs. The drawing I have of it shows a 3 screw mounting but is not clear whether the mout was for use on truck cabs or the top of the wireless body.
