I thought the Fine Quand was misinterpreted from the real name of Fire Guard.. just the script letters make it look like Fine Quand..... This was perpetuated for a while by experts and books apparently....

Brent Mullins Jeep Parts still has NOS in the box mufflers... just got a new one from him since my other NOS one had a small dent in it.... I can't recall the exact price but thought it was around 75 dollars or so. BTW the original box is really neat and has a buy war bonds for victory ad or somethi...

I believe it is bare metal

David,

Joe at Vintage wiring of Maine is currently making me a set of cables. He has the GPA patterns. His is making the long one to the front, the inter battery cable and the ground. He was very nice to deal with and the pricing seemed fair with a 3 week turnaround.

Bob,

Yes I do see it there.... I believe Peter said Jaap is reproducing some of those parts... plus I need a close up of the tab that is bolted to the bumper

You're GPA is looking wonderful again :)

Thanks again,
Tony

Peter,

Thanks for the tip... I would love to see the pictures... I seached this site but could not find it... I will try again when I have more time.... No I did not receive your email.... please resend or send to me directly.... I've PM'd my email address.

Thanks,
Tony

Hello,

What size are the pintle hook bolts? Are they F Marked?

Thanks,
Tony

Hello, I believe there are springs that take up the slack of the exterior brake lines... could somebody give me details on the number, locations, and spring mounting both on the vehicle and the lines themselves? Any pics would be most helpful! I believe there is a tab that mounts under the axle bump...

Those look great Richard!

David, Sorry didn't realize you didn't know me or Dennis from this site. I'm Tony Castagno, I've been collecting and restoring GPA's for about 7 years now. Dennis Francis owns "wheels of the past" and among other things has reproduced many hard or impossible to find GPA parts for this comm...

I have the same bracket David. I am missing the end bits on the clamp that goes around the extinguisher. Mine still has the band intact. Any chance I can borrow this piece to have Dennis fabricate the clamping bits?

Thanks,
Tony

I'm in at 150... so hopefully we can make that number

Thanks to all my GPA friends. I appreciate your kind words and wishes! Day two of assembly went pretty well. We used a come along to line up all the holes frame/tub precisely http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c327/GPA2196/DSCN1489.jpg we also used this interesting item which Dennis pulled out of his...

Just wanted to give a quick update and thanks to everyone who has helped me get this far. I took the week off from work to head out to Oklahoma to start the assembly of GPA 2196. We built up the chassis and test drove it... Dennis actually got it up to about 40 mph in this configuration without brak...

Thanks Donovan for confirming a couple of things....

I still need to know the dimensions of felt and where each dimension goes... I will be in Oklahoma with the parts starting tomorrow so should have some better of what questions to ask specifically.

Thanks,
Tony
