Re: m43 with 318 e-brake setup?

Ended up inventing a bracket
Nothing that was there was going to be solid enough.
I bought a 3 foot threaded rod a clevus and i heim and fiddled with it until I had a rod that would work.
Everything is fully functional now.

Re: Small fire

I replaced every conceivable seal and installed kwik sleeves when I got the truck.

It could have been really bad.
I was way the heck out in the woods by myself

I met the captain (i think he said) of the local VFW yesterday. I am going to drive the ambulance over to the post today and say hi. My group of MV owners will be in the Veterans day parade. And since the mascot of the USMC is a bulldog. I am going to make a spiked collar for roger and he will ride ...

M43b1 door window seals?

Waxing philosophical about MVs PLEASE READ UPDATE

The MV community needs folks that know their shit about these vehicles.
The old guys are dying and the world needs replacements of kind,generous and knowledgable gents to carry the torch.
That means us.
So soak up every bit you can.
Because some earnest young pup is going to be looking for help.
