Buy, Sell, Trade / Seat Cover Hardware

« on: June 02, 2025, 09:10:59 PM »

Does anyone know who sells the correct seat cover Hardware for the front seat covers? We use to buy ours from Walcks but they are out of business. KW and JM sells the kit but the screws are phillips head instead of the correct flat head screws.

BODY and trim / CJ3A Canvas Tops

Has anyone tried one of the canvas tops for sale on Ebay from India? There is a lengthy discussion about them on the CJ2A page but just wondered if anyone has tried one on their CJ3A.

The hoses had the DOT marking just skinnier that the originals. First time we've run across this. They probably would work but just look kinda odd next to the originals.

That top looks great on your 3A ! We have complete original set of 3A top bows on ours. What set of bows are you using ?

Just received an order of rubber brake hoses and they are much thinner than the originals or previous replacements. The previous ones we ordered measure about 1/2" thick but the current ones we ordered are about 3/8" thick. Anyone else run into this?

Went to place and order with Walcks today and their website directed me to the Kaiser Willys website. It appears that Carl has sold his business to Kaiser Willys.

$33,600 sale price. That one is probably the most original survivor CJ3A around. My survivor CJ3A is not as nice but would sell it for a third of that price!

Thanks for the response. Yes was asking about L head engines. That makes sense now. Ive also noticed that some of the hoses on the market are somewhat thicker than the originals making it a tight fit behind the fuel pump and wondered if anyone knows of a source for the thinner style hoses? Thanks

Whats the difference in the oil line A-1198 and 647583 ? Also A-1197 and 647584 ? The parts manual states that they are interchangeable. Thanks

Im not sure if this has been discussed here yet but the "From Broadway to Halfmoon Valley Road" Jeep that is posted on the CJ3A Stories History and Other Neat Stuff link will be auctioned off on October 14-15 2022. The auction company is Broad Arrow Auctions. It would be nice if we could save the auction pictures here for reference as there are a lot of detailed pictures on the auction site.
