Thank you all for the guidance. Here is the rim and tire that would be loaded onto the carrier.
Do we think there would be clearance to lower the tire for use or even get it on?
I love the enthusiasm and the thread. As I also have the m1045a2 I'd like to know more as to what you did with the turret and what components you used.
Does anyone know if the IbisTek tire retainer will accommodate an after market wheel provided the bore size is similar?
Are there any limitations with this tire carrier working with a larger tire size (40 in)?
Is it possible this part was made for an H1 Hummer and not a HMMWV? The H1 comes with factory rocker panels that look like the attached image.
I would bet with the rocker panel installed the angles would line up. Just my .02 after looking at your pics.
It wasn't in when troubleshooting. I just put it back in today once I thought the issue was resolved. It wasn't so I yanked it back out to eliminate it as a variable.

Thank you RW, Papakab, and DredNot for helping me get this truck running again!!!!
I will order the NSS and install it once it arrives.

Yes, I see two wires labeled 14. So there are two 14 wires and one 40 wire. So the two 14 wires need to be connected. Got it. I also need to see what 40 runs to.
Welp, safe to say I have found the root of the problem. This wasn't readily visible until I walked it all the way back. Nor was the extent of the damage to the NSS. Here's the 14A connector to the NSS. Burned through completely.
Wire 40 and another which I cannot ascertain it's number are also...
I have replaced the ignition start switch and now have voltage coming out of 14A when I place the switch in the run position but still no start. Now to examine and/or replace the neutral start switch. Hopefully that's the issue.
