M38 Arctic Hood Cover Hardware *WANTED*

Post by ih8pepl »

Long shot ~ but im looking for the Hardware kit for an M38 Arctic Hood Cover. Kit consists of I believe 6 mini footman loops and 12 sheet metal screws.

If you have 1 or all - let me know - send me a PM with what you need $$$ for them.

If you don't get the loops, you could make them yourself.
Take a sturdy wire of the right size,

and if you have an original one as a template,
bend the required number of them yourself.
I built a device for this so that everyone is the same.
NOS on the left, self made in need of paint on the right.

I didn't want to use the original ones because I didn't want to tear the entire heater kit apart.
I also only recreated as many as I needed myself, which is why none of them are for sale, sorry


Regards
Frank

Making my own is plan B :wink:


Thanks for the pics - I hope if I do need to make them, they turn out half as nice as yours.
