Tim ..... It is a "3A" tub as it has the vent in the windshield.� I think that I will use the hole for the ignition switch verses drilling a new hole and trying to cover this hole.� The new wiring harness (3A) will need to be modified.� I will probably drill a hole for the high beam indicator light.� A correct tub would have made the job easier and more correct.
I attached a couple of pictures.� Sorry for not posting more but I get busy with working and neglect keeping you all informed.� You are a wonderful group an I appreciate your wisdom in helping me create an "original" CJ3A.� That is me and my son in the picture, we are doing this project together (the grill and the wheels are dummies to roll the Jeep and hold the radiator).� A fun project.
Jim, That is the original position for the keyed ignition coil used on the CJ2A. This is one of the minor differences you find when comparing a 2A tub and a 3A tub.
If this is a 2A tub, and you have 3A seat frames, you might have another fitment issue.
I bought a new body and had it painted. Now I am working on the dashboard and found some surprises. The ignition switch and the indicator light holes were not drilled and there is a "spare" hole with small mounting holes on the passenger side.
I can drill hols but what goes on the passenger side? A goggle showed that some had put the ignition switch in the extra hole. Any thoughts?
