As it turns out it was a compound problem which, miracle of miracles, =
cost no money to fix! First the turn signal unit, which I removed from =
the steering column to paint the jeep, did not have a good ground as a =
result of the new paint job. Then under the dash, the cannon plug on =
the blinker module had come loose and was vibrated back all but one turn =
of the threads. So a little bit of tightening up and the whole thing =
works very well. =20
I have the pedestal mount for the machine gun on order and it should be =
here tomorrow, I hope. If anybody has learned any do's or don'ts on the =
installation, please let me know. I have the installation guideline =
from Portrayal Press, but sometimes folks learn a few things that the =
books do not tell. Let me know if you do, please. The M-60 comes just =
a little later, and let me tell you, the folks at Rock Island Arsenal =
are real nice folks. Answered all my pesky questions and sounded =
genuinely glad to talk to me. I have seen one of their finished M-60's =
and they are quite good. I am looking for the pintal mount for this =
gun, if anybody has any leads, I would sure like to hear about it. =20
And lastly, and not quite vehicle related, but yet it is. I am looking =
for an M-1952 or M-69 Vietnam era flak vest to hang over the drivers =
seat on the jeep. I would really like to have a size large if possible. =
If anybody on the list knows of one, please let me know. I already =
tried Riv-Rad with his ad, but it was gone, so any suggestions?
