HELP needed with M38 top bow mounting locations!!

Post by Daveyboy »

Got a CJ3A and am going to put an M38 top with M38 bows on it.
As suspected, the CJ does NOT have the side body holes in place for the top bow hardware to mount. So I’m gonna have to drill into this body to do so.

Is there a diagram or sketch on this site anywhere you can point me to for the hole sizes and location?

If not, does anyone here have a sketch or photos with dimensions to share?

Send straight to my email if you like:

Many thanks in advance

Welcome!

First thing to do here, is go up to the photo galleries. Look for the second one, it belongs to Wes. Inside is just about every question answered that you can imagine.

I think I know you from another forum. If you have an M38 now, stick around here, more discussions go on.
