Anyone have a source for M1101 / M1102 trailer tarps? I did place an ad in the Parts Wanted forum, but info on a source would be good to have here.

We had a guy at work whose exhaust fell down at the gate coming in. He zip-tied it up. There were sparks coming from under his car by the time he got to the street on the way home that night. We called him "Box of Rocks".
TM9-2320-361-20 Chapter 8 (and possibly TM9-2320-209-34-2-1 Charper 12) cover everything with the brakes pretty well. For TM9-2320-361-20, start on page 8-18 (or page 592 in Adobe Reader).
No, that's not a "girl" question- it's a normal newbie question (don't sweat it).
There will be a few...
Hi All:
I searched here and found all I could ever want in the way of the standard 2-gun M16 cab rifle mounts- what I am looking for, though, is how M16's were mounted on the driver's side, muzzle down.
I have seen one picture and part of a video which show this as having been done in Vietnam...
I did some work on it: the hitch was damaged; see this thread, pages 2 & 3: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?113731-m101a3-woes
I took it for a test drive with an S-250 shelter in the back (about 775 pounds); got up to 65 mph in steps and no fishtailing even after causing it on...

internal dampener shown
Careful heating with a torch to bend the parts back around and several steel blocks and shims in a hydraulic press made it happen; took about half an hour. I took it for a test drive with an S-250 shelter in the back (about...

Inside of my shelter; was a telephone switching center. Left side, then right side:
Removing the telephone panels in the walls would allow for windows. There is some kind of blower (probably for ventilation) in the upper front wall.
The starter motor diagram is not accurate. It illustrates the connection as only going through the shunts; starters are series-shunt with the power going through the fields AND the armature. I don't remember if it's fields then armature, or armature then fields. But definitely power has to go...
I measured the trailers I have: M1102 and M101A3. From the center of the hub to the center of the hitch lunette was only a difference of about 2" (the M101A3 was actually longer), and they are the same width to the outside of the tires. So I think the biggest reason for better tracking was the...
