On looking over my '51 M-37 I noticed that on the right fender below the
gas can bracket is a retangular cut-out covered by a metal plate. The
cut-out measures approx. 3/5 in. It looks too uniform to be hacked in
and
the plate covering it is too neat. Therefore, I'm assuming (which could
get
me into trouble) its orginial to the vehicle. The $64 question is "what
is
this cut-out for"? Any ideas?
my reply:
i consulted my manual and it describes the installation of
a winter heater on the left fender that goes through the circular cut
out.
and then there's a description of fording with a snorkel attachment
coming from the right side through the square cut out. that makes
sense since thats the side that the air filter is on.
