Here's the handy work of RickG on my M38. A while back I acquired a 2A hood and cut out the scripts sections and used the hood on my rig.
Rick had a few ideas to do something with the script pieces so I sent them up his way and this is what I got back.
Thumbs up!
What do you think of that location Rick?

Rick, I just took a look at your photo page. I am certain you will agree on the location. I do recall now from back when we were discussing this that this would be a good location.
Wes
Thanks, I had noticed that also with the bolts. For the 4 plate screws, the bottoms ones will be fine and the tops actually clear the tank but are close for concern. I am going to trim them and/or find some sort of rubber fastener like a well nut that will add some safety there. The bolts that go thru the bottom of the tank mount itself are safe. The tank has a about a 1/2 void underneath and the bolts are put in with the head up so there isn't much sticking up anyway.

Sweet!! The only difference in our mounts is that i bumped mine
1/2" aft of the jerry can holder to allow strap access and welded it
to the holder instead of bolts..

The pic doesn't look like it, but mine is also away from the mount to allow room for the strap.

a couple of unique rear plate brackets

Here's how mine mounted up..
Those who know me well know that i value and cherish my
"flesh and blood" mules above all else. I've added the "OD MULE"
to the mule corral..
