Hi Casey,
I too have the same bolt pattern and it was for the C-42 tuning unit. I had used on old mounting plate for size and made a new one, and also had to get a different fender so I used the existing bolt pattern - this one is not the same as yours as you see in the picture. I have not repaired the old fender yet so this one will do for now. You can see it's an ungainly thing sitting out on the wing and I can see why they moved it to a different location in later years. I too also have the axe mounting bracket as you can see in the picture. Built 4/53 Paul

Hey Paul How are things up there?
Yes it looks a little well like an easy bake oven way up there on a plate! I kinda like it for originality but well yes as Rob says it takes away the symetrical look of the jeep! Now I know what you were talking about Rob! Well that was what the holes were for... okay that is that sorted...! Thanks Paul! Haven't mounted the gun mount yet but have it painted...just not happy with the too brown colour so tying to sort out a better darker green. Once on I'll send you some pics! Great to talk to you again! Casey

Hi Rob
No, my support brace is not original, I had seen the diagram your refering to in the CFTO but I chose not to use that. I had seen different photo's detailing different ideas that were used and all were not like the CFTO at all. I based mine on the idea I won't have a winch so I used the mounting hole as an anchor and it worked. If i get bored this winter maybe I'll try to make the original style. My idea seems to work rather well and is very sturdy. I will have to admit that whole idea of that tuning unit mounted there is rather ugly, but it served a purpose. Casey, Glad the GPMG mount I sent you is working ok, you will have to post some pic's when you can. What is your build date of your M38A1? Good talking to you Paul
