No sweat, took me a while to figure out the cut'n'paste thing. Is that an orignal plug or NOS?
By the way, nice looking buck you got there! _________________ Chuck W.

I'm the third owner since this jeep left the service and the previous owners never restore it, so I figure they are the originals. The buck is the result of the year 2000 hunting season, with is 250 Lb and 24" spread antlers, you will understand I'm proud to show it.

I'm Bloody going insane, I've just spent half a day and a 60 mile round trip drive looking for my drain covers that I was sure I'd bought from a Dutch dealer last year. After three hours of turning stuff over my 9 year old (whom was 8 at the time) said, ' Dad, were they in brown paper packets?' 'Yes son,' I replied. 'Was it the stall along from Joop Staman,' he said. 'Yes son,' I replied. 'You put them back cos you weren't sure if they were for your jeep.' he said.*&^&*****&^%$£"!$%^&*&**** said I.
hey ho,
Dave. |

Greg - that's Remi's picture, but I like it, too! Matter of fact, took me a few minutes to find the plug!
Speaking of rubber plugs, does anyone have a source for the rubber "self-closing" plug that goes in the drain hole for the tool box lid? _________________ Chuck W.

Drain hole in tool box lid???????? That one is new to me. What about the tool box lid latch. What does that look like? _________________ Tropical Veteran

I guess that's not a good description! If you look at the top of the tool box, you will see the channel that the lid sits down in. At the center rear, there's a hole drilled into the channel. If you look inside the tool box, under the top at the rear, you will see an angled looking "chute". Now, if you go under the jeep and look at the floor step-up plate behind the tool box, you should see this rubber valve. It's like a self-bailing valve in a boat. I think the idea was any watter trapped in the channel around the tool box lid would drain through the hole, down the "chute" and out through the rubber "valve. Water could not back up through the valve to possibly enter the tool box. The tool box lid is suppose to have a heavy rubber seal on it, and I think the tool box was actually suppose to be semi-watertight. _________________ Chuck W.
