Perhaps that was some sort of mod applicable only to such as your CDN2?

BTW...I have a very thick manual for the Iltis...first, second, third line maintenance. Interested?

My 'beast' is interesting in that it came from LETE and has EVERY hole for EVERY modification - radios, weapons, GPMG Recce mount, M72 LAW mount, etc.., based on this I cannot point at my vehicle as being typical of a CDNx.
Am interested in the manual insofar as I can use info for my Iltis page.
Cheers,
Clive
PS. Haven't forgotten the m/c book. These are going out this week now that I have some time.

Jon, we still had a few 1967 106 Jeeps when I was in..as I remember the fire extingusher was Mounted on the floor.

Dean:

Yes, but that would have been mounted on the floor in a CDN2, probably on passenger side. The CDN3 has an inspection plate in that location so the extinguisher can't go there.

If you're attending the Hammond barn in June, I can bring the Iltis manual with me.

Looking forward to the m/c book.

Re: Fire extinguisher mount location

Hello

I have a copy of the relocation of fire extinguisher and sub machine gun brackets for CDN 2 and 3, EME Modification sheet.

It has the SMG mount being removed from the dash (From the left side of the chicken bar) to the floor between the seats (to the right of the hand brake) and the fire extinguisher mount being moved to the dash.

Unfortunately my copy had the date cut off.

The CDN 2 originally had the fire extinguisher on the floor between the seats.

The CDN1 had a brass fire extinguisher depicted in one of the earlier photos, then replaced with the light blue ones later on.

Clive's M38A1 has a decontamination bracket mounted on the left rear fender.

Thanks
Eric

Damm! You're right. Four of the five voices in my mind are telling me to go and kick myself in the butt.

I knew I had a copy of it.

You da man!

That's exactly what I've been looking for.

Thanks so much.
