Hood insert M151 M151A1

[D Pizzoferrato]

In painting my hood yesterday, I noticed that the air cleaner/fording tube opening is made to accept a filler piece which I do not have. Don't know that I've ever seen one or how common/uncommon they are.

Anybody have one to part with? Were they actually used in production?

[Rickf]

They were used and I have one on mine but they were only used on early production. I do not know the years used. Mine is an early 64. I know I have seen an extra one in my piles of stuff but I am not exactly in a position to look right now. Once I get out of the hospital I plan to stay out of the junk piles for a little while. Remind me in a while and I will look then.

No worries Rick. Take care of yourself first and foremost.

Don't fret about Aberdeen; I'll find someone else with a MUTT seat cushion incorrectly oriented to pick on

[Rickf]

I plan on being there if the weather is good. Most likely just a day trip though. I'll bring a picture of the seat.

Is this what you all are talking about? I forgot to say this with the picture.

No, I have the early air cleaner with the screen and flat top. I'm referencing the filler panel for the corresponding notch in the hood where the fording hose would pass thru. If you close your hood and aim your camera the same way, is there an opening or is is it closed by a panel?

[bobtanker]

My 63 has the filler panel... no extra ones though.

[gunny flip]

Mine has an opening in the hood where you'd attach the fording pipe.

My 63 has the filler.

[Rickf]

Dan, I think that is the first picture you have ever posted of a body part without THE measuring stick in it.

[jjscott]

Do you still need the hood insert?

[Mr. Recovery]

Scott, if you are talking to me, yes, it will stay in the hood, sorry.

[jjscott]

Dan, no, I was actually responding to the original poster, David, to ask if he still needed an insert for his hood. I've got one.

[Mr. Recovery]

Jim, very good, I'm sure David will get back to you.
