Hello,
does anyone know a source or a store to get this bracket? It is the trapezoidal plate under the canister holder on the left side rear in the M1009.
Best regards

The service and repair Bible to the Chevrolet Blazer. I was a bit surprised myself, as I had already forgotten about the Ebay International order from early March 2023.
Yes, of course... I had been gathering all sorts of digital versions of the repair descriptions in...
Has anyone who uses an M1009 or any other vehicle in this range and from the years of manufacture really not used a dust cap on the headlights?
Is this simply not intended or are there real reasons not to use them at all?
Really?
:unsure:
Thank you very much, that's exactly what it was.
Now a question... pro active I had gotten me an extra grease gun for grease nipple lubrication.
Now I read mostly "Filler Plug" and "Drain Plug", which would mean that you - for example - the differential should always change completely. So "old...
My plan is to use such adapter connections at the front of the radiator, because there is space and the sensors are protected once again.
Here is a picture of a sensor adapter from a self-built block. Here the user has cut the hoses and provided the sensor block with newly crimped hoses, that I...
I did not want to change the vehicle orginal sensors.
I want to attach the additional sensors at the transition from hose metal thread to aluminum socket on the radiator. The reason is that I can not "squeeze" hose sockets, as is the case in the M1009 with the oil lines everywhere and therefore...
That's right, those are the two connections I'm talking about. I want to put an adapter between the hard line - where the vent line comes off of - and the hose connection (crimped connection) - think it's a B-18 hose end - to install the sensors named above.
I would need to know the thread type...
Mmhhh, maybe I expressed myself wrong.
Yes, it may be that they are civilian and retrofitted windows. They are - please see the photos in the first post. I didn't want to do a complete replacement of the windows as the first step in solving the problem, although it is certainly an expedient...
Next step and again the questions pile up...

Dear Steel Soldier Community,
I know that some equip their headlights with an internal cover. This is to prevent small animals - that are attracted to the light - from getting into the headlight or dirt and water.
This is called a "headlight cap", "rubber cap" or "dust cap" for headlights. I...
Hello Steel Soldier Community,
I hope for your help. I know that in the TM the different lubrications are described via grease fittings. When I first looked at the TM I stumbled across it right away and now I can't find it in the mass of TM and PDF files I have collected.
In which TM does it...
Dear Steel Soldier Community,
this is a very specific question here regarding the oil lines going from the engine block and automatic transmission to the radiator. - I'll provide a better photo - I've looked through the TM once but can't find any specifics on the thread size.
There are two oil...
That's probably right, between 80 - 100 euros is offered here a hardtop for the m1009. I had already suspected that the windows were not necessarily already installed in the military orginal version.
But before I buy a new hardtop only because of the closed windows, I wanted to try to "restore"...
Solved
In the answer to my question had been spoken of a 20 Ohm resistor and that the fuel gauge in the first third of consumption is somewhat "sluggish".
The resistance I had not ausgemwesen, but the weekend before last I had consumed about 11 liters, the display had moved by 1/10 or 1/8. So...
The - let's call it - "hesitant" display I can confirm. The weekend before last I had consumed about 11 liters, the display had moved 1/10 or 1/8. Thus, it is functional, how exactly at ¼ full tank I can not say yet....
5 liter spare canister I have with me.
Is there anything to consider when...
OK, can someone post pictures a) of the mounted lock and b) of the regularly installed handles here in the forum?
Well, maybe I have formulated this unclearly. I would like to have a picture and possibly - if someone has it - a material list, for the regularly installed handles on the sliding...
OK, thanks for the video.
So described in your own words, the 1mm pin holds the inner hook and a screw inside the inner part holds the cap on the outside. Thus, if the screw becomes loose, it looks like mine.
Thus:

2. everything...
