Position of accessories on a M38

alexandrewillys51 · Post by **alexandrewillys51** » Sat Nov 03, 2012 5:58 am

Good morning,

This is my first post on the forum!

I'm restoring a CJ3a and militarizing to m38.

I have some questions regarding the position of accessories, researched the "Jeep Draw", but Jon just has drawings of the MB / GPW.

I need the steps below, if someone can help me.

Please measures (mm)

Thank you for your attention.

you should restore the jeep as a cj3a. Militarizing is a horrible option. there are plenty of the real thing around, it will look better work better and be worth more to keep things original, as in cj3a as a cj3a and m38 as an m38. Just my opinion but there it is.

Alexandre,

You will need to use a photo host that allows the photo to be linked to another web site. Or just use our photo album on this web site.

Here is the link to your photo album here: http://www.willysmjeeps.com/v2/modules. ... _album.php

hi Alexandre. i have to agree with Xamon about keeping your 3a as is. it took me 30 years to find an M-38 CDN. i owned a '48 3a but it was nowhere near being an M-38. having said that, i can understand that importing or finding one in Brazil may be difficult. all the best in your rebuild! cheers frank

Welcome to the site!
I won't pull sides on what you have planned for your rig. Plain and simple, it's yours, you do with it and enjoy it as you will.

Aside from that, get us some more info on what you are after and we will help you out.

Hi Xamon and Frank,

Thanks for the opinion of you, but what happens in Brazil is as follows:

In Brazil, the (Brazilian Army) Brazilian Army repotencializou Several jeeps in the pattern called "BERNARDINI."
And this re-powering, civilian jeeps were used and processed for use of EB.

How am I doing patterns militarization of the EB, militarization is totally real.

Another learning experience for all of us!

I'll post a photo I have of a militarized jeep by EB.

I'm still waiting for the dimensions. Who can help, thank you very much.

Hugs.

Alexandre

Bretto,

I think now you can view the image.
I need the exact measurements of the position of footman loops and reflector on the side of the jeep.

Could you help me?

Thanks for your attention.

Here are some measurements off of my M38. It is difficult to get exact measurements from the curve of the back of the jeep. I held a straight edge along the back and took measurements from there. Assuming you are using standard 5.4mm footman loops I did not measure for both holes.
A=205mm
B= 127mm
D= 809mm
F= 587mm
H= 168mm
J= 68mm
Hope this helps,
Kendall

Kendall,

I appreciate your willingness to help me.

I'll need a few more steps, I'll do the drawings, and if you can help me more sometimes, I'll be very grateful.

Thank you for your attention.
