Which model jeep do you have? You can insure we always know what model you are asking about if you go to your profile and add the model of your jeep to your posting signature block.

There are over 14 illustrations in the M38 Operator's & Maintenance manual TM 9-8012 that illustrate those two cables. If you do not have a copy of that manual you can download it free right here on our downloads page.

Here are several illustrations from that manual.

Yep, I knew there were none.

With the photos you can get close enough that no one will be able to call you wrong. A pair of dividers to scale it and your eyeball is all it takes.
