Thats a good sign that someone removed them for mounting a different engine. They were riveted in and I haven't seen anyone selling them alone. Usually a scrap frame is your only source unless you get lucky and find someone who still has them but went to a different engine and mount.

If it's any help the CJ5 & CJ6 use the same bracket.

Rt side:
Bracket Assy: ORD# 8677503, WO# 805552
Includes:
Bracket only: ORD# 8677648, WO# 805520, MSP# 344-289
Reinforcement only: ORD# 8677293, WO# 847026

Lt Side:
Bracket Assy.: ORD# 8677649, WO# 805519, MSP# 344-290

ORD# = Ordnance Part Number
WO# = Willys Part Number
MSP#= Midland Steel Products part number.

do you know who carry s them for the CJ

I know of no one who carries them new. I am afraid you will have to scavenge for a junk frame to find them. They were seldom ever replaced since they are riveted to the frame where it is boxed. Expect a tough time finding them and a tough time installing them.

Wes,
How would you install them?

Cut out a portion of the vertical face of the inner boxing to get
a bucking bar in there, rivet from the top and weld a plate back
in where you cut it out?

You wouldn't impact the frame itself that way. A plasma cutter
would be handy.

I was thinking of re installation.

Instead of rivets I guess one could use bolts with nuts
and lock washers but you'd still have to open the boxing
for access.
