Hi

I modifying my M606A1 I would like to replace the rear tail lights with black out lights like M38A1's had. This would involve cutting a circular hole for each one, (based on observations of other jeeps). Does anyone know the diameter of the hole required? Any tips on cutting it out?

Thanks :lol:

Hole is about 6" in diameter on the M38. There is a box bracket that sets behind the hole to bolt the tail light to.

Hole can be cut several ways, depending on how steady your hands are! :lol:

I have used a jig saw with a metal cutting blade and a circular attachment for cutting holes.

Thank for the info Ryan. I wondered how it was fixed in at the back.
