My wife thinks it's ugly, so I took it off and it's been holding up the garage wall ever since. Mounts under the front bolts of the shackle brackets on the front bumper. Fits perfectly on my A1, but in the only photos I've seen of them actually used in-service, they were on A2s. I never saw them used in Vietnam (please excuse my reference to Vietnam - I know that any reference to M151s in military service offends at least one of the regulars here).
Best offer or trade for NOS A1 parts, 1960's cables or handsets for RT524, or M2 internals in any condition. No response here today or tomorrow and you can pick it up on e-pay this weekend.
TIA

Thank God you can call & complain about the .50 on my jeep. And thank people like me that the policeman on the other end isn't speaking Russian or Chinese.

Yeah Right
You will find these referenced in the MUTT Guru's Newsletters (including how to fabricate them in the field, as they were never issued as an NSN item).

Thanks Blackdog - saves me doing a scan of the picture I have - which btw is not MP but a Cav unit, if I recall correctly.

I wasn't going to say anything but, as you all have said Mr. Guest is wrong
While I was stationed in West Germany in the early '70's I drove A1's and saw other's with the "thing on the bumper" didn't know for a long time what it was for. The ones I saw must have been homemade cause they had more notches in them.
