1978 M416A1 Rebuild

Proper first class overhaul. Really nice. My hats off to you. =)

I bought replacement fasteners from boltdepot.com. All grade 8 yellow zinc, 316 SS or black zinc coated. Not bad for about $60.

And....Done! We'll, phase 1 is done. I had to use some hydraulic pressure to get the tub mounting bolts to line up but otherwise it was pretty straight forward.

Is there a known replacement 15 or 16 inch steel wheel with the right bolt pattern, offset and center hole? I've been using the trailer for family camping a good bit lately and I'd like to not only get a spare but might want to replace the original wheels and tires.

I use the same wheels as I have on my 1983 CJ-8 Scrambler, so I can also use the same spare on either one. Old Jepp wheels are getting harder to find, I think the same hole pattern was also found on old IHC Scouts.
