Differences in side curtains/doors for M38 vs M38A1
Hi Guys,
I don't see any difference between the side curtains for an M38A1 and an M38, at least by the pics I see online. But the part numbers are different, so I assume there are differences. If I run across some while scavenging and there's no part number on it........how do I know if it's for an M38 or the A1? Same question for the doors. Do any of these parts interchange?
Thanks,
bob

Hi Guys,
Ok, I scored a box of NOS side curtains at Aberdeen, but the box is marked M38/M38A1. I know the M38A1 curtains are longer...........but can someone give me a number so I can measure and see what I've got?
thanks,
bob

Re: Differences in side curtains/doors for M38 vs M38A1
The ones I just received (NOS winter enclosure kit - bought from the same seller as Gary) are 39"W x 29"H. I know mine shrank a little bit because after they were installed overnight I had to tighten the straps. Same with the doors - they were scary tight when I closed them for the first time and are fine now.
