Quick question is the bracket welded to the perimeter rail or bolted. Thanks

There is a bracket welded to the perimeter rail, the holder bolts to that bracket.

The only treasure I found while taking my halftrack apart was a small wrench someone dropped in the pan armor years earlier.

I fit the driver side ammo storage box that I picked up from Super jeep a while back. Its a great fit, I added a piano hinge. It needs a latch/hasp. Does anyone have a picture of an original hasp for the lid.


Thanks Gary

Here's a couple of originals Gary.


John Kerpa/p3aflyer sent me this one







This one is courtesy of Mike Spradlin:




I got this one off ebay. I don't think they're specific to half-tracks. Just search vintage lock hasps and find one the right size & shape. I took the easy way and attached it with screws instead of rivets. This is one of Paul's glove-fit lockers also.






I hope this helps!       

Jon
