Congratulations on your new arrival. I'd try Brian C. Asbury for the
lights and spotlight reels (Canadian list members will have his
address) Seat backs and bases are common to front and back, muffler
you should make from stock components and the other parts, well who
knows.

Track removal / replacement kit for leaf spring front Weasels consists
of;

a jack type handle that works the puller, with a socket end which
doubles as a wrench for the front wheel outer rims
a jack type device that is actually a puller (multifunction)
a mounting bracket for the puller which hangs over the weasel deck
a bracket that supports the puller when de / retensioning the front
springs (fits both sides by turning a plate)
a connecting rod that hangs from the puller when used for the
transverse springs and fits bogie bracket holes.

>From memory there are some differences withe the Weasels that have coil
front springs too. Best plan would be to visit someone with all the
kit and get it demonstrated. Everything except the puller can be
lashed-up or copied, and you should never take a Weasel far from home
without this kit. Good luck, Gordon, 8-) Falkirk, Scotland.
