Hi,
I have an M151A2 which is missing the hood/windscreen catch assembly. I've seen what the pin would look like, but can anybody post a picture of the catch which fits under the hood? I've seen something in a local hardware store which may do the job, but ideally would like to get an original set up if I can. Additionally, does anybody know if a WW2 Jeep passenger side safety strap will fit an M151? Mine seems to have gone AWOL, and in the UK I can get hold of a Jeep one fairly easily.
Regards,
Vince (UK M151 A2 owner).

Re: Hood catch
Thanks for that Dan. Anyone know where I might get one of the catches? As it's under the hood, I may have to modify something to do that. I have seen a couple of correct windscreen pins on-line, but at the moment I need to prioritise fixing my transmission leak.
