Another M151 windshield question

[John Shipley]

Good evening and salutations..I'm working on proper restoral of an apparent 151 mix..The windshield is split and appears proper for an A1, BUT, the hood bumper locations have 2 threaded holes on each side instead of one. All of my TMs show only one. Also, the transmission cover shiftstick hole is elongated instead of being round(thus the boot won't stay-put). Any ideas on either issue? THANKS FOR ANY GUIDANCE...John

John. Pictures would help. Then one can determine what variant you have.

Good point cstaup....I'll try to get them on tomarrow.

I think some of the early windshields used a flanged bumper with a fabric covering like on a M38 instead of a rubber bumper. Not sure on the tm hole, might have been modified, should be easy to tell. Those tunnel covers are pretty common.

Mark...That looks like the ticket!..Now I wonder if the previous owner put on a M38 Window frame....the wonders never stop in this hobby.

 

[cstaup]

They didn't put an M38 windshield on it (without a whole lot of modding), but certainly could put the stops on.

 

[John Shipley]

Mark...You're absolutely right about the windshield frame. Thanks again.

For further identification: Where are the pics?
May be the question is fully answered already...? For me not necessarily.

I thought the early M151 not A1 but straight 151s had the hood bumps like pictured above. Is possible that you have an early windshield. Not much difference between 151 and 151a1 cept maybe the bumps. If anyone knows different please speak up.
