T-16 S/N 5399 T.D. 97377 Restoration

[horsa]

Hey Roland,

I have everything for a proper WWII USA pattern instrument panel with the exception of a Waltham speedometer and a speedometer cable. I'm currently following up on a few leads for the speedometer which will probably be the tougher of the two items to find as they were only used in the later pattern Ford jeeps and the T-16s. I know any jeep speedometer will work but would prefer the correct one if I can find one.

As for parts I'm looking for in case you have other items there...I need several of the hull drain plugs. There are seven on the floor and one in the very front where the engine hand cranking rod goes when needed. The diameter of the threaded sections is 2 5/8" with the overall disk just slightly smaller than a 3" diameter.

I'm also looking for one of the metal fittings which hold the head of a pick. Its the same size as the metal part that is on a pick handle but it is capped off and has a bolt welded onto it for another metal part to fit on which keeps the pick head from falling off the vehicle. The overall part bolts to the rear curved armor that protects the differential.
