    Just purchased my 2nd MV...M38A1

    I know they aren't cheap and I always hate throwing money at problems, but if that doesn't cure the problem at least you know you have a good spare! Try replacing one at the time to see which one was the actual problem so you'll know for sure. Wes posted a write-up on how to check a coil over...

    That's a good place to start. Is your coil new? When they start going bad they will get weak/quit when they get warm.

    I had never heard of that site either - it just showed military vehicles and had the rivet I was looking for. Sent from my SM-J320V using Tapatalk

    Wow, they look great! I can't remember which vendor I bought them from, but I bought a set of rivets when I restored my last plates. I just did a quick search for data plate rivets - http://www.dataplates4u.com sells them. This is the type you need to use...

    Who did you buy your plates from? Every time I have bought new ones they came with the correct ones. It slips my mind who I bought them from though. I would call around to everyone that offers repro plates.

    I totally understand - if I would've known I woulda be buying another a1, I wouldn't have sold all of my parts (rims included). Parts vehicles are starting to get scarce around here too. Hope you have some good luck on originals. UPS man is like Santa, and the brown tuck is his sleigh...

    It's your call, but I would go with M38a1 wheels. Although the combat wheels look cool, they weren't used on M38a1s (that I have found or heard of). Also, you will need to run flaps in the M38a1 wheels also. When ordering wheels, make sure you buy the correct ones for your a1. Tigers is a...

    Looks like you have an excellent starting point with your 'a1! A few things that popped out at me: 1)Definitely need a game plan. Figure out how far you want to restore it before testing down. Trust me - it cost me about 13yrs when I tore mine down (because I wanted to sandblast the frame and...
