HMMWV Bridge Plate

[JGrant]

Can someone help with a question regarding bridge plates on the M1026? Not sure if the relatively light weight of the vehicle and any towed load would require a plate. I've only seen a few with them and wanted to know if this might be standard or something that was optional or not even required. Mine is a unit conversion from 998 and I'd like to make it period correct for an 80's or early 90's vehicle...

I put one on mine. no matter the weight all vehicles should have them.

My unit had 30 HMMWV's and on 1 truck had it. Most were 998's and 1037's.

Many thanks for the info. I'll likely put the new plate that I have on the vehicle.

Hi,

I'm not sure where I should mount the bridge plate on the humvee. Saw some pictures where it was mounted at the bumper or like at the picture. Which version is correct or does it not matter?

Best regards

That's how I've always seen them. Mounted to the hood on the passenger side.

thanks!

maybe I mount it with silicone ... I am a little bit reluctant to make some holes into the hood
