I have a healthy respect for those 45-deg cutters. My scalp has a dent courtesy of a moment of carelessness.
As I recall, there were reasons for moving them along the width of the bumper and not just centred - underhood access, sightlines, GPMG clearance ... .

Glad people can use the information.As I recall,my wirecutter on my M38A1 CDN 2 jeep left me with a wound or at least a ripped shirt at one time! A fairly simple project that adds to the vehicle.Be careful!
Derk.

Derk,
After seeing the diagrams, I went down to the shop and started making the parts. Cut the plates and drilled them. Cut the short peices and put an angle to the blade. But, do to the warnings, stopped short of making them knife edge. But, I put the project on hold, I didn't have the exact angle iron, so I had to stop. Repainted the bumpers today, to get the wrong CFR numbers off. Replaced the transfer case rear seal and took the slop out of the parking brake. Cutter should be ready by the weekend. The info is very helpful. Thanks, Bob M. |

Derk,
Thanks for another project. Installed the wire cutter and the new correct numbers today. Radio parts on the way. Anything else I should know? Did the Olive Drab jeeps have Canadian flag red and white decals on them? Where if so. I've seen them on the front bumper, hood cowles, front fender, rear bumper. Was this radom? Attached is up to date picture. |
