Re: WTB GPW lubrication chart brackets
If you don't find them, you can easily make your own. The strips are just flat strips of steel and secured with small machine screws and nuts.
If you want, I can measure mine.

Re: WTB GPW lubrication chart brackets
Hi DogDoc,
I have taken the measurements of the GPW grease chart brackets from GPW 17331. It is most probably a field modification on my jeep applied during its service life in the US.
It seems that not many of the Ford kits have survived, but as I said earlier it it is easy to make your own out of flat steel strip 1 inch wide and 1/16th thick.
Note that on GPW17331 the strips are not exactly square on the hood / bonnet. Fitted from the factory it probably would have been exact (with Ole Henry looking over your shoulder)
**Just noticed I put the screw measurements for the short strip on the sketch the wrong way round, but the photo shows them correct**
See pictures:
