53 m38a1 frame motor mount brackets well i picked up a m38a1 frame for $100 i notice it was missing the motor mount brackets where can i buy them ? thanks in advance

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.

I can't stand people that do that thanks

Roy,

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 would just grind off the rivet head they should peel off easy thanks brain just sent email out

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.

the bottom part of the rivet is still on the frame i would just fill in the hole with mig welder C and M is what i am looking for
