Hi all.....
About to install a NOS fording kit on my A2. NOT exactly sure how it goes, I have looked at a lot of pictures but could use some close up ones of both the front and rear mounting....or is there an instruction book or sheet?
Good close up pictures or instruction sheet would help.......Thank you all....BILL
Please reply back with any help at: NAM9TH@AOL.COM

The -34P manual has all the parts diagrams showing the positions of the parts in the Group 33 special purpose kits section figure 146. And in the -34 manual you will find the full instructions on installing the kit, again, in the special purpose kits section. I am not going to list a page since depending on the manual year it will be different but just look in the index.
On edit, I went back and looked at my -34 manuals and the early manual does not have the installation instructions, only the later one. Get it here.

There appears to have been an 8 page MWO-218-30-1 from 1961 for the deep water kit but I have not seen it. Most likely shows early version. Maybe online?

Also found a few pics here http://g838.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=27 ... ion#p23962
