A timely post/find, just bought a set of doors in similar visual condition and will likely have to replace the window as well, tempted to install flymesh and then have the clear roll up an zip/velcro down.

Big thanks to Elijah95 for the float across from LA, arrived safe and sound in Senoia from whence it was picked up on an equipment trailer and hauled to Augusta.
Had half a chance to get sorted and over to Durhamtown, but it was not to be.

Tim got the bug, then had to find a way to make it supportable.
He has a **** of a vehicle collection, all kept as running examples and is supported by/employs local veterans to help maintain...
Agree, strip the seats out, ‘centre’ the transfer levers, all knobs off and remove four hold down bolts.
Then jiggle and balance and hold your tongue a little more to the left.
Getting the tunnel back on was worse.

I think I have PDF of some of them, but that nomenclature suggests these are the mid to late 80s reprints.
For what you’re talking about, the original issue manuals should cover as well.
Spock
For a single float move, sure, but no reason it won't fit on a car carrier if ones headed in the right direction. If it's the going rate, then I pay it, just looking to see what options might exist.

Checked the -20P, for the sender your NSN is 2910-976-5417, manufacturers number 8712134.
Not common to the Jeep series, although the dash gauge is, seems the M561 unit is longer so a Jeep unit may be adaptable...
Spock
Pretty sure they are common to the M151, check the parts list and cross check the NSN and or manufacturers part number to those listed by TNJ or similar.
SgtMaj, is that a request for me to tow some spare parts in for you?
A most generous offer, and I’m sure you’d keep the soft goods flexible through hanging on appropriate framework too. 😉
Spock
Sooooo, I may have done something many would consider insane.
No, not relocate to the US, although I have; I bought another M561.
Pics to follow when I’m on a desktop.
But more importantly, who lives on the route between LA and Augusta?
Old girl is getting a solid service and trip prep, but...
Maybe, maybe not.
That project was sold when I left Australia, having said that, I wouldn’t be surprised if the Tambourine Tank Museum did get one made off the cover m38 sent me.
I’ll drop them a line and see if a pattern can be created for distribution.
