I purchased a Winter top and seat covers from Weebee Webbing.
The top was heavy and fit perfect. The seat covers were great quality. I assume they are coated with something, since they stank up my ... |

How do you add acid to the battery?
What else needs to be done to them for them to work?

I did something just as stupid - power washed my M38A1!
One of the connectors was loose and seperated. The live end touched the frame and The Jeep started to pop and steam up!

I do not believe those wheels were Willys installed before 1960. If your 52 A1 is a factory restored class resto you'll need the earlier wheels.

I thought mine were wrong too.
My '52 M38A1 came with all 5 wheels had the ridges. All the tires look like original military tires.
Mine also came with a M606 front bumper.

They used the military standard floor mount which was braced to the dash at the top.
Any idea where to find that bracket? Or what to ask for if I call Midwest Military? Ask for a M151 rifle bra ... |

Aervoe was a very dark green - very close to the Krylon Olive Drab I use on my firearms.

I see that there are two major suppliers of paint for MV's - Gillespie and Aervoe.
I do not have access to an air compressor, so I will have to buy spray cans.

I looked at all the wheels I have and found ONE that matches the wheel shown in the PDF. It has the small hole in the wheel and no ridges or bumps around the lug nuts.
