I'll look into them again... thanks for the advice. www.military-tent.com looks promising!

I'm preferring canvas out of experience with canvas and inexperience with the vinyl... the canvas breathes, holds up in the Nevada sun, etc... anyone in a desert area prefer vinyl over canvas?

Okay dudes, I give up. I'm usually pretty resourceful when it comes to stuff like this, but for some reason finding a tan canvas cover for an M101A1 has become an 8-month long process, and I still haven't found one yet. After about three months of searching, I finally made contact with Emily at...

Did you ever find which part it is? I'm having the same treasure hunt problem as well!

Just outta curiosity, what'd you pay for that rig, how long was the wait, etc?

Im sticking with regular shock cord and metal hooks :wink:

What's up with super rope saying "Cord is not to be knotted"? How are you supposed to use a rope you can't tie a knot on the end with :-x

That's pretty much the plan... I'm going to send the whole thing out to get blasted. I was going to do it myself in the garage, but that CARC paint is pretty nasty stuff, especially the '68 era stuff. Yeah I could use a good respirator and all, but then it'd be all over the garage, so...

Hah... nice man

Here's what my handles look like: I've seen exactly one of those on ebay in the past three, four weeks. And I didn't buy it, like a dope :mad:

We heard you twice the first time :-D

Yes... lots of handles on ebay, just not A1's :wink:

I'm just kinda puzzled... even a quick look at ebay will show a coupla dozen M105 handles... big fat goose egg for 101s! I'll probably de-rust mine and use them... keep it original and all

Well here's the first wave of parts in... managed to scoop up TWO jack/wheels for sixty bucks... pretty good? They are from an M105, I'm guessing? Since the mount doesn't exist on my trailer, I'm thinking of just welding a piece of pipe with drilled holes in it for a mount... unless anyone has...

Is it just me, or are these things a rare find? I can't seem to find these anywhere, and mine are kinda ragged... I guess I could maybe salvage them with a wire wheel and some paint, but Id rather just get some new ones... anyone got any suggestions?
