Help needed with MB frame measurements

[Tuareg]

Hello I need somebody who has the frame without the screws and could measures exactly this holes from centre to centre using a paper to mark exactly the holes and after that, scanner it and send it to my email. It will be the best option for me and the easiest one to know ex you the distances between holes.

It should be the same for Ford and MB, my car is a MB

Hello Tuareg,

Thanks for the nice comments .

I am glad that I was able to help get the tracings for you to assist in your restoration efforts !
You have a nice jeep project, that will someday ride again !!

Keep your efforts going, and try to get a little done every day or week, and pretty soon you will have a completed jeep.

I am always looking for old parts to restore again, my 1943 GPW is being built from all left over, or cast away parts, that people thought were too rough to restore, but I am getting them restored, as I go forward with the build.

It is great fun !!
Years ago I started collecting parts that were priced right, like fenders, hoods, grills, etc, just to save them and restore them in the future.
The future is here, and I am restoring them, and it is very satisfying to save them !!

Pretty soon you have enough parts to build a complete jeep, just from random parts


Keep 'em Rolling !!

Best Regards,
Ray

Yes, mine was in very bad condition due to 50 years working in a farm and bubba’s work on it. After that it was savage to use a few parts in a Ford.

I bought the frame with original untouched tag, original tube, steering wheel and ross box, front and rear axle, seats, grill, pedals and few more parts…

So same as yours, building it from scrape

It will run again for sure, as yours!!

Tuareg,

Visit my web site, there are a lot information about the restoration of my 1943 GPW, I think will help you to identify your jeep and a draw of the frame measurements.

The web site is on;y in Portuguese in this moment, but has a lot of pictures and drawings.
