Are those standard NDT's, or is there a special size made just for the Mite and nobody else!?Another update from Doc:
I took the Mite out for a ride around in the back yard. Checked out the shifting and the clutch. 6 laps around the trees. I had to sweep the garage floor so I thought I would take the Mite out for some air.

That will buff out!Jeannie's regulator. EUWWW! Must have been submerged at one time. Just a guess, but this may have been the reason the batteries weren't charging....

I was thinking about that steering wheel, Mr. OD. And it IS a hit for sure, that's not pocket change.My parts orders came in!!! I laid out nearly $600 to buy these few pieces of green. The NOS steering wheel cost me $300 I'm still ticked off about the jerk that butchered my steering wheel.
It's a beauty.Thank you, sir. I appreciate your support. I knew that Doc would uncover at least one major disaster. I'm thankful that I can still find parts for the Mite. I order nearly all of my parts from Daryl Bensinger. He's a great guy. He sent me a complete steering box and column that was rebuilt in 1967. It has the horn wire in place an the nut for the top of the steering wheel. Daryl is helping me preserve this piece of military vehicle history.
