Recondition Plates

Post by Ed Roberts » Wed Feb 21, 2018 12:09 pm

Hi all. My GPW (5739) has 4 small holes in the dash to the upper right of the glove box door. Holes are professionally done and create a rectangle shape. Anyone know if rebuild plates were standard in size, and if so what the size(s) is? Thanks

They seem to have been in several sizes, but without the dimensions and a pic, that may be limiting them somewhat...perhaps it is some other type of plate for a different usage?

Thanks, Chuck. The (missing) plate holes are 3"x1.5" and appear to me to have been drilled via template due to the cleanness and exactness. I believe my (42) Jeep was in Norway at some point due to HL/BO marker on the switch and 2 teardrop turn signal marker lights left/right on the tub just aft of the L/R seats. I'll try to post a photo once I figure out how to do it.
