To me it looks like the stencil is square to the round screw. _________________ 1951 M38

I guess I needed to add a winky face after my message (I thought my sarcasm would be understood by all). _________________ 1951 M38

Kendall,
Sarcasm just doesn't work on the internet...........believe me, I've tried. Problem is most folks don't type like they talk. Not sure why that is.....maybe it would take a few extra seconds or so. And without physical expression to go along with the sarcasm people just don't get it. Makes you really wonder how some folks' minds actually work. Scary.
I'm being sarcastic. Or am I? Hmmmmmm.
Maybe if we had a "sarcastic" emoji........
later,
bob |

I saw that glove box door and was going to bid on it......it would look cool hanging on the wall......but figured it best someone restoring a jeep got it. I know this will sound dumb........but for what component is the fording plug for......meaning where does it get installed?
I looked in the ORD when I saw this door and it doesn't list an early and late door.......just one. So was this door used on special jeeps only? I assume it wasn't used on early M38A1s that came with the fording kits installed.......as that would show up in the ORD......right?
thanks,
bob |

The fording plug was used to plug that hole in the bottom of the bell housing. That "holder" on that back of the glove box door was used as a place to hold onto the plug until the jeep went fording. In other jeeps it was stored in a bag in the glove box.
