Antenna mount

On the M38A-1.....when the MP-50 antenna mount was bolted onto the left rear corner.....did it have four bolts in the side and two in the back......or four in both the side and the back? I'm gettin so sick of patching holes, if the holes in the rear quarter panel of this jeep fit an antenna mount I'm gonna buy one and bolt it on. I've got four holes in the side and two on the rear just outboard of the seam between the side panel and the rear panel.

Can't say for certain, but I think it's 4 in the side and 2 in the rear. This may help:

Of course, it doesn't say in that drawing how the vehicle is oriented in relation to the bracket. Rolling Eyes

Personal choice, I guess.

There's a large dimensioned drawing on page 5 of my album here:

which should help you determine which of your holes are correct for this type of bracket.......

Thanks........I believe that is the answer I was looking for......and with the dimensions I can easily verify the holes. Here's a fuzzy pic of the inside of the left rear quarter panel. I'm pretty sure I'm going to find this tub had an antenna mount installed at some time or other.

There is a slight variation in the M38 and M38A1 quarter panels that eventually led to a slightly different dimension for the rear bolts and the issue of a second MP50 mount adapter just for the M38A1. There are many A1's around with the early adapter bracket and it is often bent and mis-shaped to make it fit the A1.

So our buddy Joel is declaring the MP50 adapter was interchangeable
on both jeeps.

I don't even know why I go over there. The knowledge level is so far
above my thinking I feel like I'm discussing theory of relativity with Einstein
except Einstein did acknowledge when he wasn't in full possession of the facts.

He is the reason I left the g503 site years ago. G503 management shelters him because they feel right or wrong he is an East Coast MV Icon and should be allowed to be as lippy & incorrect as he wants to be.
