Recognise this part?
« on: October 24, 2020, 08:10:16 AM »
This part came in a bunch or Halftrack Parts I bought, but I’ve no idea what it is. Any ideas??

When I get home I’ll see if the part number on it matches anything in my parts book.

Looks like the plate that sits on the transmission mount.

Possibly the Spacer plate On the back of the M3, initially the turnbuckles wrapped around the back of the M3 like the M2. The later version the turnbuckles mounted on the sides.

That’s actually what I hoped it was because I’m missing those parts. But when I compared it to photos, the boles holes are to far apart. When I get home I will look the number up if it’s listed.

Chris

its from the transfer case, small plate that sits on the support (page 187). Mkoloc is right.
