Does anyone have pattern or drawings for making metal door frames for M38A1? Can't seem to find any take-offs anywhere? Thanks

How big of a hurry are you in ?
When I get back home today I can take my painters "green" paper - make a template for you - pm me your address and I will stick the template in a postal envelope and mail it to you.

Thanks, but I found a complete door frame to use as a pattern. I had it sent to my daughters, due to freight costs to Alaska, so have not seen it yet. But, I hope to take some measurements and pictures and post as a reference.

Did anybody ever make these templates? I know this is an old thread, but I may be in the same situation. Also, I read on some thread out there in internet land somewhere, that the main frame is exactly the same on both sides, that just the hinge pins are mounted different? Can anyone confirm/deny this? Also, what diameter rod is used - 3/8"? I'm pretty sure I have acquired a driver side door, but won't get it until April.
Nope, Somebody that I won't name promised to make drawings but they haven't appeared yet. I'm looking for drawings too. Let me know if you ever get any and I'll do the same for you.
Are you coming to the MVPA rally in Belleville this coming weekend? I've got some NICE M38/A1 wheels and NDT/NDCC tires that I'm bringing.

Like I said, I'll be getting a driver side door w/canvas at the show in April. If I can't pick up a passenger side, I might try to build one with "modified" hinge pins. My daughter has some white roll paper that will be perfect for a tracing if/when I get one.
Not going to make it to Belleville - I'll be working. I guess my next rally or show will be in April at Denton, NC.

Oh, I must have been looking at a different one right before I left work. Belleville, Fla rings a bell. I'm not sure - maybe he will come in shortly, if not, I will look when I get back.

that's more of a possibility. if I can get the garage straightened up so the CJ stops getting rained on while we work on the M38A1, I might be able to go.

Belleville is near Louisville, KY - where the 2014 MVPA National Convention is going to be.
