Hallo Tony, this is correct ! And is also used on the drivers side. One side of the spring is hooked in the small tab and the other side of the spring should be hooked in the underside of the small bent tube (which pushes and pulls the door open). There you'll find a small hole. You can measure the ...

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the kind words !

Yes indeed Peter, after the license plate the next step will be getting her in the water ....

First i'll try her out on land, so i won't have any surprises in the water !

Thanks again guys,
Glenn

Hi Guys, i proudly present GPA 5892 under its own power ! http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/GPA5892/HerschaaldekopievanGPA090607008.jpg There are still some things to do (change to combat wheels, getting a licence plate, etc), but for the moment i'm really happy for getting her this far. http:/...

Hi Guys, Here is a picture i found on the internet some time ago. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d142/GPA5892/00044051.jpg After my attention faded from all these women, i noticed something strange about the GPA. The registration markings are not painted on the same level ! Enjoy, Glenn

Hi Donovan,

i have used the material they use for fitting glas in wood-stoves.

It is a kind of rope (diam. 1/2 ") made of (glas ?) insulation material.

Hi leo,

it is also possible that the right one belongs on a generator PE-95 with jeep engine! (They also needed more cooling air .....)

Some weeks ago i threw one in the old iron bin.

If i don't forget i will check the manual tonight.

Best regards,
Glenn

Hi Rick,

i also had the same problem !

But i made some filling plates of 2 mm to raise the engine a little bit, so the fan is just in the center of the shroud.

Good luck,
Glenn

Hi Guys, can someone tell me how the GPA outer handbrake cable is attached, near the transfer / transmission case ? The problem is that the inner cable is much longer than with a standard jeep, so it is not possible to the standard jeep bracket under the transfer case. See attached pictures .... any...

Great work Pete !

Almost there ..... i would say !

Best regards,
Glenn

Hi Cees, Rubber cover = early Ford GPW or GPA Leather cover = late(r) Ford GPW or GPA just like the covers for the shift stick and transfer case ....... They changed it to leather to save on rubber. They needed the rubber for other products, like tires etc. which were more important at the time ! Be...

Hi Peter,

it gets better and better .... keep up the good work !

I also wish you and all other GPA people all the best for 2007 !


Best regards,
Glenn

Hi Peter, Great work on the 'ass' of this GPA :wink: (sorry for the expression !) .... Really, it takes very good craftmanship to weld all the sheet metal in place without disturbing the original shape of the hull ! Just out of curiousity ....... Are you done ? Or is there more work on the hull ? Be...

Hi Mithril,

merci beaucoup !

This is just wat i wanted !

Thanks again,
Glenn

Oké guys,

Can someone give me a a dimension of the lip of the canvas for the windshield ? And maybe a picture on how it is made (from the side ....). Is it stitched or just gluid ?


Thanks again,
Glenn
