They have a couple of different jigs I use. More than happy to get measurements if you like.   |

No these are the naco lights that Walck's sells. But I think I got the last one. He said the manufacturer went out of business and it could be a while before he finds another. A lot of other guys are out as well. Debella jeep parts may have some still. If you need em' get em' quick. You will find that is the case with many parts for the jeep. Been trying to get the chrome bezels for my parking lights for the last year. guys want crazy money to plate.

got the wiring done and most of the dash.
 I need to make a bracket to hold my coil, so I can move it back under the dash where its supposed to be.  |

Jay, yes I would appreciate those measuremen's for the footman loops (as would othere I'm sure). Thank you!
I see yours are installed. Nice jig setup the shop has for that.

That page that shows the locations for the footman loops leaves out the one on the passenger's side that mirrors the one under the wheel arch on the driver's side. This is for Lefties only. Just in case anyone missed it...

Just curious, but can anyone in this August body here explain the bracket concept regards the battery to the fender? Is it just to keep the battery from possible tipping/slidding in those rough terrain situations you and your trusty Jeep might find yourself in? If so, would it not have made better sense to put the anchor point in the middle of the battery hold down instead of the end?

Avoided a major scare, put the tank in. The drain holes didn't line up, thanks Juan. Also, when I fitted the tank, I did not have the piece the strap hooks on, welded on the tub. So that threw off my angles from where I wanted to spot weld the fuel neck. ( when rebuilding make sure you save and re use your old one, the Replacements are incorrect). I ended up enlarging the the line hole in the floor and only using the welting on the hump side of the tank. the other 2 strips I used canvas. That gave the tank just enough tip to get the grommet in. What a relief. Woke up in the morning and was thinking I would have to cut the fuel neck out and repaint the side of the Jeep.

Got a little done on the grill as well. I had previously wired up the lights. So then it was making more staples to attach the felt. love the grill on a Jeep.

A little tip for your fuel tank strap, cut a small piece of pipe to go over the bolt between the strap ends and it will tension up without bending down.
Not stock, but it works real good, the ends of the pipe need to be nice and neat and ideally machined and it will nip up nicely if you get the length right. I did it on 14605.... Adrian |

finally got the jeep running today. Note to others, make sure you don't forget to plug the vacuum line for the wipers, it will run much smoother. I also started fitting the fender.

This is a great restoration! I am looking at options to mount the spare to the tailgate, could you post or send a pic of your spare tire mount?

Several of us have built non-invasive racks for the back of our rigs. Some examples here. |

I would say for the best pictures of the spare tire carrier, go to the Walck's web site. I managed to get the other fender hung today. Had to jack the body off of the frame a little bit to get things to bolt up.  |
