I'll be home in a couple of months and should be able to scrape another one up. PM me sometime in May.

Ralph at Niagara Military Vehicle Parts has these as well.

IIRC, he sold me mine for $25 each plus postage.

So there's at least two of us depending on Rob to find us one each of these trays.

Rob...gentle reminder to follow in May.

Have a good one!

If your hard up for one, mine are currently out of my M151A2.

I can snap some pics with the ruler laid on it.

I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to copy one with a sturdily mounted metal brake. The alternative would be to just weld something up instead of bending the metal. That was my alternate plan if I failed to find these.

I appologise for the quality of the pics. I've gotten lazy having this iPhone camera now.

Approx 1-1/4" thick, approx 3/16" thick metal.

17" Across from mounting hole to mounting hole:

13-1/4" Deep

3-1/2" Between Mounting Holes

If there is anything else, please feel free.

I believe yours is already out in the shed waiting for me to get home and mail it. I can get more.

Thanks for the pics. Ya it would be tough to bend one up, but it gives me a good look at it.

The top plate and the bottom plate aren't the problem. It is the donut (or doughnut, if you prefer) cushioning in between them.

Hello folks

There are also several MV owners in the Ottawa area looking for this tray.

Thanks

If you guys can find them locally, then by all means go ahead. When I get back I should have no problem finding a reasonable number. I should be able to match Niagra's price, but then there is the postage. If some of you are in the same neck of the woods, I can send more than one in a parcel to make it a bit cheaper.

We'll see where it stands in May.

Put me down for one if there is an extra available. No rush - May is fine.

Hello Folks

I just picked up a tray from Niagara Military parts. He still has a few left.

Please remove two of us off from the want list in Ottawa.

Thanks
