Anyone out there with the canvas doors on their M38?
I am looking for the measurements to fab a set of the iron frames. Cheers Mike Timoshyk |

Mike:
I have a set for my M38A1CDN3. Generally speaking, canvas is in poor shape...faded, a few rips, lucite panels scored and scratched, but frames in good shape. Where do we go from here, if you wish to pursue this? PS...nice to have finally met you at the Acton OMVA show. I have the Military Muster site loaded up.

Hi Jon,
Thanks for the response. If the doors for an M38A1 are compatible with the M38 then perhaps we can dance. Big question is will they be the same design. Anyone else want to jump in and provide yea or nea to them fitting both vehicles? Windsor celebrated Remembrance Day ![]() cheers Myke |

I'll chime in with a nay. They are not the same.
There may be frames for them out in the usual Manitoba surplus scrapyard. Derk Derin and I were looking at them this past summer, he might remember which M38 or M38A1 they were for. |

Thanks Rob,
I thought so myself but without having owned an M38A1 and no available examples in Windsor I could not confirm. Did you bump into Sgt Anderson? cheers Mike |

I can't remember off hand what the difference was between the M38 and A1 door frames but I do have one door frame with my M38 and the next time I am at Al's I can compare with mine and confirm what door frames he has out there.I am looking at my M38 & M38A1 parts list and it lists the door frames as;
2540-21-116-6405 door assembly,l (65909-685865) M38A1 2540-00-737-2893 door assembly,r (65909-674970) M38 2510-21-107-7341 door assembly,r (65909-685866) M38A1 door folding,l (65909-674925) M38 door folding,r (65909-674926) M38 I do remember that the M38 door window was one full piece of plastic from top to bottom where the A1 door was 2 windows in it.Can anyone say if this also has anything with the structure of the metal frames design like a metal bar running accross the middle of the frame? |
