Better pictures of the new front ammo bins from MidWest Military. They even come with the 1/4" plate that goes under them.

Does anyone have the dimensions for the holes on the L.S. bin for the grenade bin to bolt on. I'd like to get that all put together over the wknd.

Yes it is. So the little sleave with the string is used to tighten up around the headset leads/connectors.

Jordan/Bob

I'm very interested in one of the waterproof covers for the switchbox if you are able to produce an extra.

Jordan: I think that we may have been bidding against each other if the original that you acquired was one that came out of England a couple of months ago.

Cheers,
Colin

A bit more progress is made. Since the engine is out I took the opportunity to completly repaint the floor and get it all cleaned up to as new looking as possible. Ive also refinished the oil cooler and made up the lines for it. Im also working on putting both fuel tanks back in with all the proper fasteners and such in place.

I also got this piece made up. Now I just have to get my hands on the actual track adjusting bar. I cut out the side pieces with a hand held jig saw and some metal blades. It did a great job cutting the out.

So more stuff that I have been working on.

Finaly got my last grenade ready bin attached to the r.s. ammo bin. Im sure my elbow will like it once I start driving again. Ive also got a full compliment of #36 grenades. These are high quality repros a friend makes out of resin. They unscrew just like the originals and feature a springed plunger and repro dets.

Further more I finised the felt cutting with the pads for the fuel tanks. I ended up using some brass tube to cut the holes in the felt to clear the nuts.
