ford gpa g504

Here a small modification for the transfer case.
Instead of the single oil seal of the tranfer case
at the handbrake side a modification for a dubble seal.
You can put 2 SKF oil seals behind each other.
SKF 15649 and SKF 15635 .

Carl On ww2 pictures you see the T bar handle pump but in my opinion there were several pumps in use if nessesary. The Waterweasel M29C uses the folowing model which was direct inserted in the water instead of GPA which uses 2 hoses. http://i.imgur.com/zI74IlMl.jpg Here a picture from a GPA with the...

As an extra for the front axle I use this extra set. It is a modern CJ 5 knuckle set which is better than the original ones! South African Owner Eugen Nick used it in (now) my GPA! The Ex -Mexican GPA of Peter Verhoeven was fitted with the same seals! In combination with the dubble lip seals and V-s...

Perfect replica engine hatch wingnuts. These were used until chassis number +/- GPA 8000. The later types used the 3 point model. On the picture left the copy on the right the original. Price ; 60 euros (2 pcs) excl. post. http://i.imgur.com/BVBvljZl.jpg Bob Asselbergs bobassel@xs4all.nl

I agree with Donovan.
Cees told me that he had found those spacers and
I was curious to other reactions.
My chassis was never taken out and I didn't find any spacer!
So I'll guess these were only added when the space between hull & frame was to big for proper adjustment.

Nice Job!, keep up the good work!
It gives you a lot of troubles and it costs you a lot of money
but !!! , when she's ready I'm sure you will enjoy every minute
driving and sailing with her!

They are the right original ones!
You can use an American jerry can for the right
thread / hole in the bottum.

David I use a little thicker oil. SAE 120 GL 1 oil.(instead of a SAE 90 oil.) This must be suiteble for hypoid gears. That is an oil without dopes. In my opinion todays sae 90 oil is a little thinner that SAE oil from the old days. I know it is strange because SAE 90 IS SAE 90. But my results are go...

My compliments Tony!
But realize that building her up is a lot of work too!!!
You feel like a kangaroo ;jumping in and jumping out!
Be sure you test her first in the water before finishing her.

Tony In my opinion the GPA's that stayed in the U.S. are transformed with the U.S. mwo's. My GPA 4928 went to South Africa and was left in the condition as she left the Ford Plant. It is your decision how to rebuild / restore your GPA. You can build her like she came out of the Ford plant or add all...

You see !!!!!

I knew it!!!

(I can ensure you all, it is lovely & warm on water!)

Hot Bob

Tony Best wishes for you! Here four pictures from the top bow attachements. They are bolted together with the side rail / coaming. I think,because you have a early one, you have side coamings without profile and no reinforcements / antenna brackets to bolt those top bow brackets on. You can see more...

Hello GPA friends With this headline I know I' m kicking agaist "holy Houses" ! I know and realise it is not original. Because I drive and sail a lot in my GPA in summer time but also in winter time I deceided to make a better bad weather protection for our Dutch climate. I'm sure if GPA w...
