Sorry guys, I have been away working on other projects for a while.
No problem, I just re-read Bill's post and made a statement, no harm, no foul.
Joe’s lock that I installed was a correct as possible; I could not tell the difference from the original, short of dirt and old paint on the original. I would say that he nailed it on the head for accuracy.
The hanger bearing I cannot comment on accurateness as I did not have an original to compare to. However Joe's bolted in place without any adjustments. This includes connecting the correct u-joints and shafts to the hanger bearing and installing the hanger bearing to the bell housing. If I had to grade
the hanger bearing I would give it a big old “10” as it went into place without any fiddling. Now compare that to any of the other parts on a 60+ year old vehicle and I can tell you that it is nice to have at least one part of a restoration go that smooth.
Hope this helps a bit.
Ps. I can see wanting "original" as opposed to repo for some people.
Me, I just want to finish a jeep of my own before my time is up!
Cheers
Pat |

| It is good to hear that Joe's repop is so nice. I will probably end up getting one from him in the spring. No need to put parts in the jeep right now as winter is coming fast. |

To reproduce the lockplate would have been extremely pricey. I believe that there is another individual making lockplate reproductions. Perhaps someone could chime in with their name.
