I'm surprised he hasn't found you yet.
on the top of the page you will see the word MEMBERS
click that scroll down a ways and it will say find member.
Type in 86humv and then I believe it will say something like start a conversation.
The only person who is going to have the pieces your missing off the UPA is 86 humv.
You may have to buy a complete UPA from him if he has one. Sadly it is a common method of de-milling them to separate the back half of the UPA.
The Mk-23 cradle will work on your HMMWV but just not with a...
The MK-64 cradle has a small pintle on it already.
It fits in the UPA (Universal Pintle Adapter)
You are looking for a UPA for a shield (flat rectangular plate on the face) that also has a yoke on the back of it ( adjustable Y shaped piece with a cross bar for the T&E Mechanism )
86 HUMV is a...
what kind of shield do you have ?
is it flat or does it have a bend in it.
Not sure what you mean by wide enough to mate with the MK-64 cradle?
The Mk-64 cradle uses a small pintle.
Your best bet is to try 86humv here on the boards.
Do you already have the M2 adapter for the MK-64 because you...
Welcome.
You chose a rather fitting name for what your trying to do.
Unfortunately you placed the bet before you checked out the odds.
Don't spend a dollar on it until you figure out the paperwork.
Just try and find another C pillar. it won't be cheap but they may be easier to source in Europe then here.
Or have something made custom and keep all the original parts
Go ahead and take off the sponson's and the hatch.
Set them aside and see how you like the truck .
It's your truck. How...
I'd just try and find a Special forces type C pillar and use the side rails that go with it.
You may be able to sell or trade your existing c pillar and sponson's for one
Or you can cut and modify your Sponson's. That's what I did.
When it comes to the curtain part your going to be custom...
I'd focus on the paperwork before I spent another dollar on it.
What engine and trans is in it?
Do you have a park position on your shifter?
What emergency brake set up does it have?
You may have fun with that gas tank install depending on the existing e brake set up on your truck now.
You have to have the light switch set to brake lights or service drive to send power to horn if I'm not mistaken.
Horn is located dead center of front diff. pointed down.
Not everyone has scratches. I made a set of sheet metal covers that install on the lower section of the doors to protect the windows when they are open.
I saw the drawings for them in a supplemental TM along time ago.
Now I run half doors so I don't have any glass at all.
I think first gen doors had some Kevlar in them not just fiberglass.
Like others have probably said it's more then the door , it's all the other parts that make them expensive.
Back in the days when HMMWV's were rare and parts were plentiful I used to make half doors out of them.
I made a set of...
