Need help: M151a2 CAF Europe 74-22375

[Scott Bentley]

For the back half, also a lifelong Germany A2. Slightly less mileage with approx 60000 on the clock. For what its worth, its not completely unusal to have mis-matched halves. There are plenty of others floating around here in Canada. If the Gas Tank and seats still fit and line up then its safe to say that the original geometry has been retained.

The ones ending up in Italy are notorius for being mismatched. A1 fronts mated to A2 back halves etc. I'd say it's a miracle two Canadian halves were mated

Hallo Mark,
Many more thanks for all these informations but how to read all those numbers?

Iam still stressing Perini for the Ziebart tag, he said that he still has some "somewhere in the storage" and to call him again the next week (3rd time he said me so)
and as i said as soon i will receive it i will send it to you together with the other tag.
In the while i wait for it, would you @mail me a shipping address?

If I recall correctly, on the first page of the "CFR Request Thread", most of the above codes are explained.

I'll PM you my shipping info. I hope you will give me a Paypal Address to compensate you for this.

Thanks

Scotty

That's fantastic! No worries about the corner.
Thanks for this.

I mailed them this morning and i have almost completed the paint job on my M151.
One question: did the CAF ever used the rigid enclosure on these cars?

To the best of my knowledge, the Hardtop and Arctic Heater Kit was not used by the Canadian Forces.

From what i've read on the US Forums, the Hardtop makes the M151A2 much more top heavy (rollover potential) and painfully loud.

Post up some pics of your paint work.
