USA based source for M45 Quad mount parts?

Post by nwarcade » Sat Nov 04, 2017 7:58 pm

Hi All,
Is there a good US source for M45 quad mount parts? I'm looking for some tires, a canvas seat, and possibly a few other odds and ends. I've found some sellers from over seas but are parts available here in the states?

Thanks All,
NW

Best luck is to just buy overseas.

Yup. Most parts I've seen seem to come out of Europe.

Try Midwest Military Vehicles and parts. And then ask on her for John Sprouse out of Texas. He knows folks in Europe.

I have a spare M18 sight unit in the storage case.

Thanks for all of the tips guys. I've managed to track down almost everything I need stateside with the exception of a good set of tires and one wheel dust cap.

Just to post an update I've found everything for my quad including tires and a dust cap obtained from another forum member. Thanks to all for the help. I've made some useful connections in the process.

Here's a teaser from when I first uncovered it. It was previously stored in a barn for several years. I'll try to start a separate thread with some more pictures when I get it back together.
