|
|
Hi there!
What I need is the correct M38A1 windshield rope channel that runs across the top front of the winshield that the canopy slots into.
OPTIONS:-
*rope channel ready to weld on
*the top section of a unserviceable windshield that I can remove the rope channel from
*information of where or whom I may be able to get what I need from
Thanks!

John at Midwest Military had them last year, I replaced the one on my M38 along with the sides. The top one was NOS. _________________ 1952 M38CDN (in progress)

Unfortunatly John does not have any and wishes he did. I'm getting a windshield frame off him but it has had the rope channel removed. He thinks they were ear-marked for 106mm carrier convertion.

D & L Bensinger lists them on their website for $30 NOS. I got mine there several years ago. Here's the link to the page that has them listed:
https://www.dlbensinger.com/bemakm38.php
Under body parts and accessories.
Hopefully they are still in stock. |

True, they are and he lists both types on his website. Be sure to specify which one you are looking for. |
