  1. I'm looking for the pioneer compass assy. I was told someone reproduced the brass mount bracket 10 years ago. Are any reproduction or originals out there? Leads appreciated. Thanks! Dave
  2. So I'm a long way off, but what have people done to replace the firewall padding? Specifically, the one by drivers foot that the ventilator lid handle stop is riveted to? The rivites would need to come off, insulation on, and then re rivet the catch bracket and keep it spaced away from panel. Are reproduction panels available, or what are people making them from. Thanks Dave
  3. So my weasel is an m29c serial number 5096. What is correct for spark plug organizer loom, the grey flat one pictured by m29 above, or the circle one? Thanks Dave
  4. What! A spark plug cable retainer! Omg I must have it. Why are there so many hard to find cool parts! 😀 Can you give me more direction on a vendor who has the correct ends? Thanks! Dave
  5. I talked with vintage wiring of maine, they can't make spark plug wires anymore because they are missing the weasel end. Does anyone have some good used ones or new ones I could buy and send them to have them made? Let me know! Dave
  6. Where do you buy the aluminum gear? Part number? Thanks Dave
  7. Thanks, next question. I have a thick carb gasket (looks like 2 stapled together) what is the proper gasket placement? Thin under baffle and thick on top? Or baffle directly on carb elbow, with gasket only on top? Thanks! Dave
  8. While we are on the topic of distributors, where do I find close to original looking spark plug wires? Mine look like new rubber and are like spaghetti all over the place. Thanks Dave
  9. Thank you very much! That will help out greatly. I left a message to get a coil, hopefully now, no more burnt up points! Thank you! Dave
  10. Hi, please help me confirm placement of this baffle. Do I have positioning correct? Does it go directly under carb? And gasket at top and bottom of it? Thanks Dave
  11. Yes, my rubber chicken agrees. Those are weasel. Dave
  12. Great comments! I will check the voltage on the coil. I think they previous owner left the switch on, as they were fried when I got it. Obviously my M29C has a coil on the front of the distributor, and the generator is on top. I would assume it was 12 volt, rather than the 6 volt conversion with resistor as pictured above for the t-15. So many changes for such a short run vehicle! Thanks, Dave
  13. Interesting! I thought the hull drain plugs would be on the bottom like our old GPA! Thanks again!
  14. How is my weasel supposed to float with all these holes? 🙂 there are holes near all bogie wheels, and the front track tension spring has a hole in it. am I missing pieces? thanks! dave
  15. Hi! I have just test run my weasel first time since I got it. Coil wire positive lead was loose. The previous owner included a ceramic resistor, but was obvious aftermarket and was broken. I hooked the positive lead to the run position on my switch. I did not use a resistor. Had lots of trouble with spark, boils down to melted plastic wiper on points, end of points were blue from being heated. I am changing the points and condenser, but I'm wondering if the originally used a resistor in line with the coil? Or direct to switch? I dont need to melt another set of points. But it may be the previous owner left the switch on? Thanks! Dave
  16. Now, next question, does the electric wiper conversion mean you still use the manual wiper arm as well?
  17. I tried the wwii jeep arms. They work great. Not perfectly original but I'm happy . Appears to be the correct splines end, with the jeep style hook blade which is easier to get than the anco elephant trunk blade. Dave
  18. Thanks Patrick! Look at those awesome original wire clamps above the fuel tank straps! All those dimples add to the original factor!!! 🙂 (saw your video) Thanks! Dave
  19. Mechanical, however my tank is electric. I am planning on using a cover plate. But that is as long as I can find the sender with pickup tube.
  20. One more thing how about a final picture with gas line routing from tank to filter and then carb?
  21. Now that I know what I'm looking for, I found the cut off strap remains!
  22. I would never have guessed they used a wood block! How 1930s of them! Cool. I was thinking in the front where the tank would smash/rub against the front it would have had something. Thanks! Dave
  23. Looks great. Was there any rubber strips along the edge of the tank, where it slides in or where it hits the hull in the front? Is there rubber strips between the straps and the tank? Thanks! Dave
  24. Yes, the rear ones for the stretcher look like top bow brackets.
