The big two wire Jumper cable for the slave receptacles? Or the actual Socket deal?
We may have OE pumps but they would all need a rebuild if could be found.

I looked in the Boneyard found none then asked Matt, Apparently few years ago when I was messing with a M38a1 myself for a museum I stole the last one. However I know I've found them online before with the appropriate wiring and pin in them between $30-$70. With the M38a1 I do know you will want the one with really long leads on the receptacle.

I'll find one somewhere. The hunt is half the fun. I appreciate your help, though.

Grinding Caliper Travel
Finally got the nerve to grind the caliper gap on my new knuckles for the disk brake installation. Grind, fit, grind, fit, ad infinitum - these are the next to last fitting. When done and filed to reduce the roughness it looks fairly decent.
PRO TIP: Fill knuckle reservoir BEFORE attaching caliper permanently!!!

Install a dual reservoir master cylinder, it'll be easy they said...
"Ourkit was designed to be an easy..." Sure for a person with an advanced degree in Hyperbolic Topology.
And the piece de resistance...the final paragraph of the installation instructions, "With all that done you should be able to install lines and finish setup." Well, kiss my grits, Mel, how 'bout some directions just in case?

Still trying to work the bugs out, seems we have a carb issue now! We rebuild it and still having issues. In between the fuel pump died! I "think" we are getting close!

It's astounding how useless some installation directions can be. I never understood that.

OK, she is running! Made a 30 mile run with no issues! Fingers crossed! Also added the BO drive, markers, Slave Recpt, and the 1st aide kit.
For some reason pictures are not uploading? Maybe later!

OK, now I can load a photo! She ran fine, no issues, only 6 months and a ton of money!

Your jeep looks great:
- I never noticed headlight guards on any of them before; nice item.

Just purchased a decent Carter YS950 carburetor, along with the correct Fram oil filter and mount for my M38A1.

I'm taking a guess (S.W.A.G.) here:
- Non-Directional Circular Conductors?
You know what I mean, right; "tires"!?
