Along with all the fluids being drained it was also missing the batteries and the battery cover. Keeping with the thought of easy servicing I wanted to use a common battery. After doing the research and some measurements I decided to go with the more common battery and used 4 of the Group 31C...

Installed the dust cover. Perfect fit nice and tight. Purchased from amazon.

Thanks, I'm in a very rural with the closest truck supply, being 60 miles away so I was hoping for a single supplier with good descriptions that we could all go to with confidence and order them.

I agree, but got frustrated with trying to find a supplier of them the dot connectors. NAPA lists them by part number with no size specs. i kept running into dead ends. So I went with what I found at Mcmaster. Do you know where to find them without the wild goose chases?

The M1078 Air Horn upgrade 8/15/2016 link. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?157058-FMTV-Air-Horn-Install

I finished the horn Install. That has got to be one of my favorite upgrades yet. It brings a smile to my face every time I push the horn now. No more old VW Bug sounding horn. It has a good tone to it, not Extremely Crazy loud but VERY loud. Here are some pictures and a parts list. I know some...

Thanks suprman, but I didn't do a good job explaining the picture. The broken piece is in my hand and the primed area is the part I made and welded on.

I found the tab broken off of the drivers side air bag lock down the other day. Just one more repair LOL!!! The broken piece is to the left in my hand, I made a new one and welded it on then primed it.

The rocker switches are SWF switches / Britax I collected them from different places. They are used take offs from RV's.

steve6x6x6 I tried sending you a PM but your box is full. I live 45 minutes south of you in Wauchula, FL, and interested in changing the gears in my M1078. How could I get in touch with you?

Thats happened to me before so I reduced the size of the photos and its still happening. Oh well. I reloaded them hopefully that works.

CRUISE CONTROL and FOG LIGHT SWITCH install. I started off by wanting to install 3 new switches in the dash For Cruise control and fog lights and ended with removing all the dash components, steering column and side steps for painting while I had it apart. Here is the gage panel with 3 new...

My M1078A1 built in 2003 History, Purchased from GovPlanet September 2015 as a non runner all fluids drained, no batteries and a huge hole in the front left tire. Picked it up from Hurlburt AFB, Florida. I've been working on it ever since. I'm late at starting this project thread but I wanted...

Thanks for everyones help. My impatience got the best of me. It took 30 minutes on the lathe to make two new ones out of black Delrin. I should have done this in the beginning and it would have saved me all the time researching and writing this post. Lesson learned! Here is a picture of the...

Its the plastic retainer piece that is broken and is what I need. Thanks

Found it! Its made by Camloc part# 50S12-1-1AA. Now to find a supplier in the US that sells them.

FleaBay! LOL!!!

That's the term I couldn't remember! Thank you! Did a quick search and it got me a little closer but not quite there yet. Thank you!

I agree with suprman and going to get the air from a tank. I would hate to rob something else more important of air while blowing the horn. After taking a quick look under the FMTV I found that the air tank closest to the front has a threaded hole that is plugged and would be a good source.

Help please, I broke the little plastic piece during removal and want to find a replacement. Been searching for this little......whatever its called on the web and can't find the proper search term for it, it would be nice if Mcmaster had something close to it. What is the proper name for it...
