I measured 5/32" thickness on the rear passenger side lining. You are correct - the mechanic I used was another in a long string of mistakes I have made. I have another friend who is the best mechanic I have ever known! I did not use him for repairs to the Jeep since the other guy worked on...

A mechanic did the brake job, and he used complete new shoes - not sure where he bought them. The brakes are God awful. I have to really plan my stops!!! Very hard pedal and the pedal goes down sort of far and a lot of foot force to stop in a long distance! I am about to take the rear...

What is the thickness of a NEW brake shoe ablative pad on an M38A1? I had new ones installed and they are only about 1/8" thick!

Yellow Lights turned on (high beam).

Pictures of the Converter installed. I did not notice that I could post them here!

I added a few photos (in my Album) of the installation of the converter, as well as a simple wiring diagram. Headlight connections were not modified (except that military connectors were installed on the non-military 12v headlights). We have the 480W 24v to 12v converter installed. easy as...

No, however I have come in contact with many folks who HAD them, but none that HAVE them. I thought that someone said that ZiggyO HAD them, but no more. I may find some in a few years (if I remember to look every day), but I would like to have them now or very soon. For the two yellow 12v...

I should be receiving the 480w 24v to 12v converter this week. The 12v headlights are installed using the simple military quick disconnects (3 on each headlight), so they can be easily changed back to 24v headlights. The plan is to make the same quick disconnects for the converter, so that it...

Thanks. I am sort of funny about little details. More so with the period correct details (within realism), than I am with a Jeep that is a trailer queen. I want it to look like it is still in active duty, but very nice shape. By the way, the rectangular cover on top of the front bumper is...

I added an Album and uploaded some photos of my M38A1, for those interested in seeing it. Some showing the new yellow headlights. I don't know how to add one of the photos to my User ID?

"Light Vehicle Driving School". AIT (Advanced Individual Training) after Basic Training. My MOS was a light vehicle driver. I remember the 151s electric fuel pumps clicking away and trying to start in the very cold temperatures. I wanted to fly helicopters, but my eye sight did not qualify...

I have since read about the out of balance charging of the batteries and tend to agree with you , unless I balance a 12V load on each of the two batteries which I don't plan on doing, there is a potential for problems - maybe major. I appreciate your response. And yes, I really do think a...

I will continue to look for the 24v lamps. HOWEVER... I found a converter for $30 that is good for 480 amps. If I don't use it for this application, I can use it to power other 12v things from the Jeep. SOLUTION: I say this because I have another very simple way to power my 12v yellow...

Sounds confusing - however I would tackle the known problem first. If I understand your terminology, when you mention "low beam high beam switch", I assume you are talking about the "dimmer switch" mounted on the floor board which is activated by your left foot. That switch should transfer...

No real value to have yellow lights, however I like the way that they look. Same reason for having an Army Jeep in the first place. Why would anyone want one? Because I want one!
