Re: 42 GPW #1871 Restoration
Hello 1943Willysgpw,
Very nice work indeed. Especially the fact that you manufacture all replacement parts yourself is top.
I did not find the hat channel anywhere and I am not able to make one myself so I am stuck ...
How did you do it?
I have a question about this picture:
What is the white stuff? Is this to make welding easier?
Greetings
Hans

It is reflection from the grinder marks.

Re: 42 GPW #1871 Restoration
Hat channel. First you measure the old dimensions. then mark them on the sheet metal. (first pic as represented by paper). Then put the metal into the sheet metal brake (I bought a cheapo one 10 years ago from Steve's Wholesale Tools) To the inside line and bend it 90 degrees. flip the metal over and line it up to the outside line and bend it 90 degrees. Then do the other side in the same order

Re: 42 GPW #1871 Restoration
If I remember correctly the rear hat channel is 33 inches long, 3/4 inch high, 1 1/4 inch wide, 3/4 inch legs.
