Thanks for your kind words. I am updating the design plans to include the changes I made during the installation. Mostly small stuff - bolt hole locations and so on. Then I plan on posting the plans for anyone who is interested in a building a set. __________________ Chris

I am modifying my M101A2/3 (M116A3 chassis and M101A2 box) to compensate for the wider axle. I am adding 5 inches to the fenders. The extensions are 1/8" thick sheet steel. Here are some photos of the project. P.S. - Now I'm thinking about reworking the right rear quarter to include an...

I pulled a drum off my M101A2/M116A3 today and looked at the brakes. I compared them with a set of NOS 101A2 shoes and they were the same. Then, after a "duh" moment, I looked in the TM 9-2330-202-14&P. On page 1-14, section d -- "The M116A2E1 and the M116a3 are variants of the m116A2...
