M3 Halftrack Tail Light Wire Splash Guards
Does anyone out there have a M3 that could show a few pictures of the taillight wire splash guards, to show how they bolt on. I seem to have a puzzle on my hands. Any help would be appreciated.

There’s a post on Halftrack info site. Here are the photos from it. Also 2 of my M16 before fixing them.

Hey Thank you for the pictures and info. I have the larger piece but not the two smaller ones. This was very helpful.

Anyone have the dimensions/angles or drawings for the guards and brackets? I need a set.

Hey, can you give me some idea how the smaller piece bolts on. Not sure if bolts on the taillight assembly or other attachments.

I have drawings on my lap top but I’m away from home until the weekend. If you don’t here anything from me, PM me and I’ll get an email notification.

There’s a long folded section of angle at the top which bolts to the armour. The other piece has captive square nuts.Tracktrucken wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 2:40 pmHey, can you give me some idea how the smaller piece bolts on. Not sure if bolts on the taillight assembly or other attachments.
The large cover fits to that piece at the top with screws. At the bottom there is a small piece which bolts to the back plate and has a single captive square nut at the other end for the bottom of the cover.
The lamp bracket bolts to the same bolts that hood the back plate and light surround together. See the photo of my M16 with the cover missing (all primed in red oxide).

Forgot to say, they are handed, I think the photo of the repros in a driver side and my photo of my m16 is passenger side so won’t fit.Tracktrucken wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 2:40 pmHey, can you give me some idea how the smaller piece bolts on.

JR Parts has one item NOS in Stock.
It the upper thin strip bracket that the large cover attaches to.
I don’t remember if it’s left or right

Re: M3 Halftrack Tail Light Wire Splash Guards
Thanks Mike! While I was probably not clear in that I was looking for the upper and lower brackets to mount the wire splash guard, this drawing is definitely useful as well.
Thanks again, Tom
