Re: [WT] L head starter
Very true Ric. You would think I would have figured that out as long as I have been around jeeps. But guess I keep forgetting that "things change" when it comes to Jeeps, especially old Jeeps. Keith

Motor mounts
OK, next problem. I need a set of motor mounts. Not the rubber part but the mounts that rivet to the frame. My 2a frame doesn't have any on it and the ones I picked up used are welded to the frame
