Pintle Hitch and Headlight Rings.....

Not sure if this square plate is suppose to be welded on here? Need to know if I should remove it?

I also bought a couple of rings that go around the headlights. Cant get them to fit right? They look like they are the right diameter, but they wont fit around the brackets around the headlight? Anyone know if they make different sizes of rings? Thanks for any help.

Yes

Here's an original A1 pintle installation

This shows a swivel type pintle attached to an A1.

This shows the USMC modified rear crossmember.

There is something different looking about your headlight rings. I'll have to think on that for a moment.

Thanks that really helps on the Pintle hitch. Looks like I should have a swivel type hitch.....

I don't see anything different with my headlight rings, they just seem too small?

Anyone know where the best place to get the correct headlight rings for my 52 M38A1 would be?

The last time I bought brand new NOS was from Pete Debella.
