Wanted: M38a1 / m38a1c jeep parts

[rob love]

Regarding the slave cable bracket, I am not sure it was the same as used on the M38. The m38 mounted with 4 bolts, but because of the raised seam of the M38A1 fender, the bracket for it mounts with only 2 bolts. I tried to look up the part but none of my modification instructions detail that bracket, including the installation instructions for the recoiless rifle kit in the M38A1s. It is not mentioned in the re-location instruction for the spare tire mount either, which is what blocks the slave cable in it's old location.

Perhaps someone with a recoiless Jeep can show a photo of the bracket. There is an unaltered recoiless jeep at the local milsurp yard, but it is covered tightly with a tarp.

Here are some photos of the 106 RCL Jeep in the old Vimy House of the Canadian War Museum. Not sure how much help they will be. On the bright side, St-Jerome is not far from Ottawa on the new Hwy 5? 50? And the vehicle curator sometimes comes to the Ottawa vehicle club's events.

many thanks for our help!

to Grant : good idea you have, I will try to contact those representatives! I will not use blue or red lights on the road, I know I can't do that, it's only for shows or movies!

to Rob : exactly right, the M38 bracket has 4 bolts and this M38A1C has only 2 bolts, I know it will be hard to find!

to Terry : thanks for the pics... I think I saw this jeep many years ago when I was a kid!

For the replacement lense for rotating lights, try any of the large truck suppliers like Traction Truck parts etc. They will have all kinds of catalogs for this kind of stuff.
