M38 Battery Platform

Post by steveh »

Does anyone know where I can get the platform that sits on the frame on which the engine compartment battery sits (support, batter w/brace - # 7347736). Mine has been cut off and completely gone.

Also, does anyone have the dimensions for the wood backing support for the front bumper on the M38. Mine was rotten and gone. I also don't have any idea how it was attached.

Thanks

Rod can fix you up with a nicely manufactured reproduction of the bumper filler.

You'll need to try to find a bad frame with a good tray.

What is the wood in the bumper for? Just more support?

Yes. The same as the wood in the hat channels under the floor.
