Speaking of the Cancel Rings, I have 2 trucks both have at least one of the pins broken off the Cancel Ring. I'm ordering some black zytel nylon round stock in 5/32" and 3/8" diameters to replace the tips, considering the price these Gosh-Darned things have got up to, if you can even find them...
Most of the line unit HMMWVs I've seen, if they left the factory in Camo Green 383, the interior stayed that color while the outside were painted in the CARC Tan 386 for deployment.
I spent most of a home station AT with 550th MI Bn, 78th ARCOM, hand-painting the MERDC pattern on M35 and the Mil Van version and some CUCVs. All they gave me was a very bad grey scale copy of the TM page, told me to just get it as close as I could.
I believe the attachment screws are a #10-32x5/8" self-tapping Screw, Tapping NSN 5305-01-3615-353 Part 9414241, my local Ace only had 3/4" so that is what I used and the tops don't interfere with the wiper system.

Please post a pic of the radio shelf mounts you have. There are a couple different combinations of feet bolted to the hull and the threaded socket in the air duct housing, some have two threaded sockets on the top, some have two on the air duct face, some have one on top and one on the air...
When I picked up 11 March, they wouldn't let me go look at the turbo engined trucks coming up on the block. And, they had to bring the HMMWV up to the front yard with a Case forklift. They set it down for inspection then after a few minutes loaded it onto my trailer.
There wasn't a lot...
Shouldn't there be Two of those #7 gasket seals? They should fit into a recess turned into the bearing housing on the top and bottom, the round shaped seal should stretch over the bearing housing then spring back into the recess groove to provide weather resistance (not proof, nothing is...
You may be able to pop your rear cargo hatch at the top latches so it pivots at the bottom, then have a 2nd person help slide the roof down 2 2x4s placed on top your sponsons. The M10XX roof on my GMV, 2 adults were able to walk it off the cargo bed, but the GMV has no sponsons and the C...
I think the M1025 sheet steel roof is about 150lbs alone.
Turret Weapons Station Tray (yours is the A0 to early A2 cat-eared) 25lbs
0.25" Aluminum Plate Turret Hatch 40lbs
Turret Bearings, 20lbs for the natural aluminum colored lightweight A0-early A2; 30lbs for the Black anodized aluminum...
The connector housing itself on mine is what got damaged, all but 2 of the pins are still soldered to the harness., brand new plug came with the pins pre-set in the rubber spacer. And, one of our local M998 owners in a local base contractor who builds cannon plugs during the week. But his...
Joshua was the only Scout with the courage to enter the Promised Land, the others broke weak over the tales of giants living in the land. For his courage Joshua was rewarded by Yahweh.
I saw a HMMWV being turned into a faux H1, with a combination HVAC unit mounted to the roof and windshield frame like the two front legs of the Turret Weapons Support..
If A2, either MERDC or the 383 3 color NATO Camo. Our MATES-maintained M106A2s and M577A2 Ft Indiantown Gap, PA were MERDC 1986-1988.
Then our M125A2 81mm, M106A2 4.2in and M113A2 APCs in Berlin 1989 were 383 3 Color NATO Camo.
