How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Jordan Baker]

One rear axle shaft installed. NOS gasket used along with a thin smear of silicone. I also used brand new tapered washers since most of the originals were broken. The green shaft end will be getting painted later. I just used what was handy when the POR was curing so that the top coat of paint could chemically bond.

Working on installing the exhaust system. I got the tail pipe bent up today and it should be getting installed tomorrow. I’m also playing around with putting this POL can carrier on the truck. It was used on the larger ones. I like the idea of being able to use the 2 gallon cans I’ve been picking up over the years.

Finished making up the muffler and tail pipe hangers today.

Thais to the help of another MLU’er, I made up the two battery box mounting trays for the back of the truck. I still need to add a few small things but all the big work is done. I also tried one out to see how it looks with the battery box in place. Lastly I installed the tail pipe and hanger bracket.

I got a nice package from John Bizal of Midwest Military today in the mail. Brand new made flexible fuel lines.

two for the selector valve.....

two for the frame mounted fuel filter and one just before the pump?????

Am I correct??

I used fuel lines for Jeeps some from de Bella some from Brian A.

On New Years day roll out, I discovered that one of my fuel tank cap was off and dangling from the chain.......how much evaporated is a mystery but will need to suck out the remaining gas for parts washing and refill in the Spring.

Cheers

Three for the fuel tank selector valve and one at the fuel pump.

I’ll be remaking my hard lines tomorrow. Somehow I made them from 5/16” tube when the manual clearly calls for 1/4” tube. Not sure how I mixed that up but oh well.
