I'm pretty sure you will find that the offset 90 degree connector is not peculiar to this vehicle either. I know for sure that I've seen them used elsewhere most likely one of the models of CCKW. I've probably got some in amongst my stuff.

Default Ditto on what Grant said.....

Hi Jason

Don't get discouraged ...... all the little bits are out there.... you just need to connect the dots......

Going back to your earlier email.... yes your bolt holes may have been worn out to a larger size..... you can fabricate bushings or weld extra metal and drill.

Being creative and imaginative is a requirement in this insane world of CMP restoration.

I will be taking some pictures of the various linkages we have here at the barn over the Xmas Holidays and post on MLU.

Seat frames do come up occasionally..... keep your eyes wide open for them.
....and I can't believe that all CMP related thingies have been picked clean in your area....... you have to sneak around, ask, network..... they are there and in most cases wasting away in someone's back field. Recent posting by Richard in the Huntsville area has turned up some real good CMP finds. I believe Quebec is still full of them in back road and in lumber areas....all waiting to be found. Out in Western Canada.... there are still treasure trove of parts.... yes they are miles apart as it is a big country but they do exist waiting to be picked up.

Take your time...don't give up...... keep plugging at it and stay on the forum.

Will get back to you.

Bob

Definitely the gas pedal bracket goes the other way around. the long curved arm attaches to the gas pedal. the other end attaches to the bracket on the motor that transfers the linkage to the other side of the motor.. Look it up in the manual as there is a good layout of the setup.

Default There were...

.....lots or these links in Levy's Yard years ago.m I took 6 of each at a buck each and sold them or gave them away over the years.

Brian Asbury had an eye for the good items and might have salted some away.

Send him an e mail. He probably has them.

Seems to me the deuce links arevery similar. Of course I might be dreaming.
