Not a lot of work done last month.
Had to travel for work so Weasel has been silent.
Anyway got some new items for the Weasel.
Engine cover which needed some repairs.
Have a rear floor panel, which needs some repairs in the future, but mainly new footman loops.
Looking for some advice on the color.
As my Weasel is an M29C everything was olive drab off factory.
Anyway a lot of recent purchased items are white.
What shall I do, repair and repaint in white, or stick with the factory olive drab color.
your engine cover is painted white because it is was fitted on an ealier weasel ( M29 early or middle production, or T24) try to find the later one with the holes for the stretcher brackets, you can also drill it . you do a really nice restoration, with lot of details!

where did you found the rubber pads for the grousers ?

I also have a pic of this clip on a trashed frame, I also believe it is used for the defroster cable

depending if we talk about the three different M29 or M29 contract

6000 $ is not a crazy a price, the last two set I have seen for sale (and sold !) was at 12000 euros in perfect condition) the capstan itself cost 1500 euros. about the skirt I would only keep the fornt on rear pieces and make the centerpiece , that's what I ve done on my skirt . it is cheaper to give the drawing to a bending shop than trying to make straight skirt with cut and bent parts.
rear stretcher bracket differences?

not only retroffited on M29C but all the weasel production after war I don't think it is only a norwegian production, mostly made BY the US as MWO
