By design, VA and HA are perfectly aligned. And the drawing you posted shows 400mm between EG and VA (with all dimensions being metric, obviously.) Should be clear enough, or why are you still asking?

The OD is exactly the same for both (12-7/8"), so the actual contact surface would be identical, too. Only thing different (as if 0.4 mm made any difference....?) is the total "height": 77.8 mm vs. 78.2mm.

Yeah, guess we all would prefer to see "Made with Pride in USA" written on the box.... FWIW:

Yes. Same thing, different source: https://www.ebay.com/itm/176166115720

Super nice - well done...! :goodjob: I admire your skills and patience to be able to create such a perfect model without having the real thing sitting close-by.

Suspicion confirmed! Here... While I called it a "West Coast" I did notice that it wasn't the 2.5ton version. This great picture shows them both, side by side. There must be a reason they put the extra wide 10-ton mirrors on those tankers (?)

What you see in that picture is the so-called West Coast mirror, which is not period-correct for the gasser trucks. The very early gassers came with the (flimsy) one-arm mirrors and corresponding brackets, on both sides. Later they added a second arm on the drivers side, and the bracket was...

Denied... Not true! Not moved back instantly... but then ASAP, yes! And since you already opened a second "swap meet" thread, I would like to move over above posts #22-26. Hope you don't mind (?)

Great job! One has to look twice to realize it's only a model.:goodjob:

Oops... not so fast old brain!:oops: I thought I had moved it to the HMMWV forum, yes.... but instead it went to the HMMWV-TM forum. My bad!! (And that also explains the no-privilege sign.) The thread in question is now in the HMMWV forum and the OP should be able to find it.

https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/missing-tm-page.223484/ This was first posted in the Website-Help-forum so I moved it to the HMMWV section - for now. I don't know about that "Insufficiency......."-thing ?? It sure wasn't there this morning....

You are looking for parts for the ballistic WS, I guess.... Go to this TM, Fig. 226 (And you are right, for some reason TM-9-2320-387-24P doesn't list part #s 1-22, even being that its latest change was in 2009, vs. 2004 for TM 9-2320-280-24P1)

No gasket, there.

Sounds like your radiator inlet Ø isn't stock size (?) It should measure 1.75"
