Your weasel restoration is amazing. Thank you so much for the great pictures and taking so much time to document the work. I'm sure you have saved and will save weasel owners lots of time and frustration.

Thanks!

[Fuel tank hole questions]

That was perfect.  Those answer all the questions.  Perfect and thank you for making the effort to post the pictures!!! 

Now I need straps and that nice sending unit with pickup tube! 

I have the drain tube, I will have to see if I have the plug or if it is rusted and gone.

My fuel tank has the extra hole for the electric pump.  I will have to plug that big hole if I'm going original with the pickup in the sender.

Great and thanks!

Dave

[Fuel tank hole questions]

Excellent picture! Thank you.  I see now that I'm missing the original fuel filter. 

The drain lines run from the filter and the tank to that tube on the side of the hull. Is there a plug under the hull at that spot?

How about correct gas tank strap install?

Thanks much!

 

 

[what is this part/bracket? Stretcher?]

Well, I dont have any floater parts yet. If I do find them, then yes, I'm in for a trade! What is the difference between the 2 styles?

 

Thanks

[Wiper Arms and Blades]

Has anyone tried just using WWII jeep wire arms and blades?  I am just wondering if the would fit on the shaft, and be approx. the correct length (I think weasel is 10" where jeep is 9 or 9.5?)

[Norwegian tag question]

No trailer socket, but it may have, the original condition was 30 years ago, and went through 3 different owners before I could get it back.

 

thanks,

dave

[Fuel tank hole questions]

thank you!  The "nipple" next to the rearward hole appears to be cut off.  What should the nipple look like?  should it have a petcock on it, or a plug?  I would assume it is a drain.

 

thanks,

dave

[Wtb access cover]

Found one thank you! It was a repro on ebay from poland!

[Norwegian tag question]

Hi,

 I found this on my engine, not a great pic, plus I have an old pic with the track that came on my weasel originally.  

I am wondering if this means my weasel was a Norwegian bring back?

 

Thanks

Dave

[Wtb access cover]

Hi, 

I need a rear differential access panel. It appears that's the only one missing.  

Thanks

[Fuel tank hole questions]

Hi,

I need help figuring out several holes on side of tank. I need to know if they are good or were accidents before I fill them in. 

1 on left rear side above what appears to be a cut off drain pipe?

1 on front right. Clean hole, looks like maybe something was soldered there and was broken off.

Also 4 rivets appear to not be doing well on bottom of tank where maybe the electric pump mount would be? Any sug6on repair? I can weld and I'm not using an electric pump. I like my original mechanical pump.

Thanks!

[Wtb stretcher brackets]

Hi!

 I need a 1 more front stretcher bracket (one for drivers side) and all if the rear stretcher brackets.

 

Any leads appreciated!

[what is this part/bracket? Stretcher?]

Here is my cover. Floater or non floater?

 

[what is this part/bracket? Stretcher?]

Great!  Do you know where to get that rear stretcher bar?

 

I will send a picture of my radiator lid next, maybe help me identify if it is floater or not.

 

thanks!

Dave

[what is this part/bracket? Stretcher?]

Oh goodie.  thank you!  Can you tell me if I need it if I build a floater?  or is it just for use with the non-floater?

Also, what is that welded thing that is almost a hack job weld on the side, by the antenna and muffler shroud for?  I saw one weasel with a rod in it.

Thanks,

Dave

[what is this part/bracket? Stretcher?]

Hi,

  I wonder what this is for?  Is this the part that mounts on the rear of the weasel, by the taillight? over and across to the muffler shroud?

 

Thanks,

Dave

 

[WTB balls for my weasel (for the top)]

Hi, 

  I need some balls for my weasel.  For the soft top.  I have some, some are rusted and gone.  I attached a picture.

Maybe someone has a commercial equivalent?

 

thanks,

Dave

[wtb fuel tank sender and/or pickup unit]

Hi!

 I have bought my dads old weasel we had 30 years ago.  It originally was from Norway.  (had Norwegian tracks and data plates)

It had a rear mounted fuel tank that was removed.

the guy I bought it from bought an NOS tank from Murray years ago.

I have a filler neck, and a fuel sender (sender is really really bad)

I need a good sender with a pickup tube, or a sender without, and a larger hole fuel pickup.

I think the tank was designed for an electric pump, however, I want to use my original mechanical pump, as it works perfectly.

I could take a junk electric unit and modify for a pickup tube?

I also need the gas tank straps.

I would like to know the correct fuel line routing, as the current setup is a fuel line running into the radiator opening, which stops at that point.  How does it go from there to the pickup?  do I need a hull mounted fuel filter?

 

Thanks,

Dave

[WTB Wiper Components]

Hi!  I need some wiper parts.

I need the 4 "c" clips for the links.

I need 2 wipers and 2 blades (will the arms and blades from a wwii jeep work?, I like original but I guess you cant find them)

I could use 5 of the sockets for the wipers to plug into.

 

Any leads or suggestions are appreciated.

 

Dave

 

[First aid kit location?]

Hi!  I am wondering if the weasels had a steel first aid kit like the jeeps, and if so, where does it originally mount?

thanks!

1K sounds great for winter top! Too great!

OMG!  I must have been out of the game to long, yes, everything goes up.  (except it seems the value of the vehicle itself)  🙂

thanks!

[Wtb m29c weasel canvas top]

I have top hardware, I wasn't thrilled about 1k for a top from uk, I will be patient.  Maybe someone has a nice nos one squirreled away!

[WTB Flotation tanks/swim skirts m29C]

Hi, 

  I am looking for a set of floatation tanks and swim skirts for my weasel.  I can weld and fabricate, so I don't need perfect.  Let me know what you have.  I am not afraid to ship, so distance isn't an issue.

 

Thanks,

dave
