Body hole locations

[danrothe2001]

Bought new MDJuan rear panel and side panels. They are missing lots of holes. Wes has some good pictures posted but they have no dimensions. If anyone could help it would be appreciated. Looking for spare tire mount, Jerry can mount, trailer wiring receptacle, reflector and top bow brackets in particular. Thanks

I have some aftermarket reflectors and holders if that is one of the items you are after.
They are the same as these.

I guess I did not write very clearly. I am not looking for the actual parts, just the dimensions and layout on the panels. My panels are blank. I could probably scale it from pictures, but actual dimensions from known good panels would be better. Thanks.

Ah, makes sense.

Which pictures of Wes do you mean, maybe I can help.

On the first page of his photo album there is a section called M38A1 body parts. Under that are two photos, one of the rear panel and one that says right side brackets. They are all layed out with lines but no dimensions are filled in. This is what I am looking for.

These illustrations I put out on a thread a year or so ago asking someone to fill in the blank measurements.

Chris,

I believe you sent me those once. I need to hunt around and get them transcribed to the photo.

[chrisk]

Wes that's right, on April 22, 2012 I sent an email with the sizes to admin@willysmjeeps.com.

In the coming days I give the dimensions of the right side.

On the Rear Panel, could you also include the Total Height ("TH") and Total Width ("TW")? I can see that X + MM +NN should = TH, but I didn't see a dimension provided for NN.

A dimension that filled in between FF and QQ (maybe named "BBB") would provide the sum of the parts for TW.

What is the purpose of the 1/2" holes at deminsions F and YY?

I aspire to repair this:



Thanks,

This should work. How about a few folks taking measurements for the missing ones and those with two dimensions listed?



List your answers here:
AAA =
TW =
TH =
K =
L =
Q =
V =

My tub is off the frame, sitting on its side (right side down). Per the previous picture, it's in poor shape, so take these measurements with a grain of salt.

The footman loops on the rear panel are the type welded in place and have no screw holes. Just flat tabs on each side. My point of measurement was from the edge of the right-side tip of the loop(s).

Hopefully, these photos will clarify:





AAA - Dia = 2"
TW - 49 7/8"
TH - 17 3/4"
K - unavailable
L - unavailable
Q - 10 9/16"
V - 7 5/8" (seam to right-hand side of flat welding tab on loop)

If someone else would take measurements off of a good original rear panel, maybe this data will help obtain a consensus.
