Hello, if you need one there is a nice shape VDO 310901 Cylinder Head Temp CHT 100-600 deg Gauge on ebay for $79.36 shipped. VDO stopped making these a few years ago making them extremely hard to find, with only an aftermarket, made in China version being all that's available on the market...
I've scrounged much of the aluminum angle, flat, round & expanded/flattened mesh needed to build a copy of the FAV Radio Shelf/Deck (do we have proper nomenclature for it yet?
Detailed drawing from Roger have given me a 35.5in max width, 21in length front to rear.
Flat bar & angle stock are...
My initial dive into FAV Side Bin fabrication came from a template Roger traced for me from one of his bins. Zooming in on the various member builds has shown quite a few differences between individual FAV. In this case I've noticed a difference in fabrication methods for the 1" OD Aluminum...
Hello, How does the M151A2 Rear Wiring Harness Part 11599001 connect to the Front Wiring Harness Part 11644871 at Wires 23, 21, 22-461, & 24-490?
My TNJMurray NOS Rear Harness does not have the Packard Connector Shells present just the Male pins
My case is a non-standard use, the...
I found a local plastics/acrylic shop but before I guesstimate the dimensions for the bent acrylic/plexiglass windshield, does somebody have an original intact windshield or at least a remnant, a few of the Nuclear Test Site FAV had their windshields (& dashboards :( ) cut in half.
Worse case...
Hello, I was blessed with the acquisition of a LNIB overhauled R442. I do not have the MT-1898/VRC power mount tray for it, yet. The R442 fits onto the power outlet and ground pin on the larger MT-1029/VRC power mount tray for the RT-524 and GRC-160 rig. The pinout for the oval multi-pin...
Hello, has anybody turned up a rebuild kit for the late A2/REV/ECV separate type Power Steering Pump? Either the 107 or 120 Bar type 6500522 NSN 2350-01-554-4731, it should be a package of 3 or 4 O rings, one nylon ring and a bearing.
I use this self-adhesive closed cell 5mm foam for another purpose (Special Forces GMV IED Kevlar Seat anti-squeak). When applied to your fuel cell along the V support bracket area at the B Pillar it can help eliminate the annoying squeaks: CJ5 Jim still has the remnant of a similar foam...
Can somebody please give me the dimensions for the exterior face plate for the FAV Engine Protection System? I am trying to have the face plates made again, at a minimum; the entire functional EPS circuit board if possible. I am talking to a couple different electronics people about the tech...
Hello, I bought a Chenowth 4LWC Fast Attack Vehicle, rolling chassis not running, that I need picked up in Minden, NV near Lake Tahoe, transported to FL Panhandle, Navarre FL. Also has a 2nd set of wheels and a large box of parts. Chassis is listed as 1600lbs, probably another...
9th Infantry Division FAV #0014 has emerged, Chenowth Chassis 4LWC 1592, so far the 2nd lowest number known to still exist behind Mogman's #0010.
Important stuff is intact, especially the rear anti-sway bar system.
She is going to need side bins, radio shelf, wedge fuel cell, air log...
Roger this pic was in the magazine article you posted in the 9th ID Facebook Group. Looks like aluminum blocks clamped around the rear frame tubes with a flat bar connecting both sides, that supported the stowage shelf overtop the engine bay.
Is that an Empi air filter box over the carb...
These are scanned from the Hobby Boss FAV model, good for a starting point to camouflage your FAV in either the MERDC environmental camouflage pattern used early on or the 1986 and later 3 color (Olive, Brown & Black) NATO camouflage pattern. The MERDC needs Sand splotches added or replacing...
On G503 DDTrustee said the FAV mud skirts are made from some sort of rubber conveyer belt material (that is expensive).
This company specializes in recycling/repurposing of industrial materiel including a large selection of multiple ply 1/4" to 1" thick conveyer belt rubber, in various widths...
In the worse case scenario I can't find a semi local shop to shoot my HMMWV, I bought 2 gallons of Tan686 Mil-DTL-53039E Type IX Coating Aliphatic PU.
I google the Mil-DTL-53039E, all I get is beta beta prime chloro ethyl ether nonsense.
I Ass/U/Me Type IX is POLYURETHANE based?
And...
Have any of you experience removing the Intake Manifold on the 6.5l NA GEP engine block trucks? The studs and bolts I have a chart for what goes where and what needs teflon pipe sealant and what needs Loctite 272. But one of the metric bolts is shorter than the others. I'm worried I...
Hello, I am no mechanic, only a parts changer that can read the TMs and perform minor tasks.
Motorpool Gremlins hit me pretty bad in April, the alternator went, melted the red rubber boot, smoked, and killed the Smart Start Box.
While investigating I discovered this truck actually been using...
Application: Stanadyne DB2831-5149 Injection Pump on 1995 M1025A2 6.5l NA
Fault: Throttle valve leaking diesel out the driver side when vehicle reaches warm idle speed, diesel pools up in the gallery between cylinder heads, cascades over the transmission bell when vehicle accellerates, diesel...
I've seen a couple M9XX LWS build threads but I haven't seen the dims for the main base plate for the turret/bearing, the square with cut corner plate, looks like 3/8" thick or so. Would somebody happen to know the dims from an actual install or from making your own base plate?
OK, went through the process to replace the portal hub side CV Boot on the right, front Halfshaft of 1994 M1097A1. I quadruple checked the components before stretching the boot over the cup and spindle ends, bearing cage taper side towards the hub. I crimped the CV Boot Bands, went to...
