1961 CJ3B "Gator"

yep.  that must be it.  I wonder what the hole next to the line is for. in that pic it appears to be plugged but obviously meant for something....

[Rus Curtis]

Another mystery to me. I had those holes in mine.  I noticed these plugs in Lawrence Wade's unrestored '55 and noticed another plug up higher on the firewall (not sure what that one would be for either).  I got all the plugs I needed from a salvage yard.

Here's that area from the inside (attachment below):

Note the paint run going sideways.  I found this on my tub after removing it and before blasting.  Makes me think the tubs were stood up on their sides and painted - in a hurry.

I did find a reference in the Parts Manual under, GROUP 31-04 -- COWL, DASH AND INSTRUMENT PANELS,
listing a button plug for the governor control hole in the dash.  To me, this is a different hole. 

[Shark49]

that must be it,  I can plug the bigger hole I guess.

I had a printout of the dimensions for exterior body grab handles. I gave it away with the CJ3A I sold.  Now I cannot find a link for this info and I searched grab handles body handles etc..  any idea where to look?

[Rus Curtis]

I think the military jeeps had grab handles.  Is that what you're talking about?

[Shark49]

yessir.  I found dimensions and layout for it before but my searches have been for naught. 

[Rus Curtis]

I did a quick search on g503 and all of the threads pointed to jeepdraw.  Cheap accurate drawings that are sent as a .pdf file.

I got one for my trailer's pivot leg plunger - I needed to know what angle to bend after inserting it back into the casting.

I found a video as well.  Where can I get your parts book?  Do you know what hardware is required for the transmission tunnel cover plate?

[Shark49]

Rus,

What does your cj have for wire clips along the top of the radiator and elsewhere?  I am contemplating if I want to use the push in style or the bolt/screw in style.

also looking for wire connector to this type of end on oil pressure sender.

I bought my Parts Manual (a xeroxed reprint - so some of the images aren't that great) from a vendor but I don't remember which one.  When checking, see if the vendor sells manuals and there's a good chance they'll have a PM.  I also got an Owners Manual too.

Here's an image of Lawrence Wade's unrestored '55 (I took a lot of photos to help with my rebuild):



Here's the page of all the other pictures (including more clips on the fender and clips under the frame, etc):

I've seen many rebuilds with the wire clips that fasten with a screw.  They're easy to find.  I've run across some suppliers for the clips seen above.  It'll take me a bit to find them again.

That is very similar to my backup light switch (has two posts).  You can use a simple female quick disconnect or a clip designed for that.  Here are a couple of random posts from other forums describing the same problem:

https://www.forbbodiesonly.com/moparforum/threads/73-oil-pressure-sending-unit-wiring.252327/

If you use the simple quick disconnect, suggest the insulated version.  Make a small cut in the center to allow the post to slide in.  You may also need to use a small screwdriver/blade to gently pry up the ends to allow it to easily slip over the flange.

My B/U switch attached below (I used shrink wrap to insulate).

I'll see what I can find at the local oriellys.  I think ill do something nicer for the wire clips.

Rus,

Do you happen to know where I can find this choke and throttle cable holding linkage.  I found one on eBay but it only holds one line and its not for Willys I guess.

[Rus Curtis]

Which part?

There's a bracket attached to the side of the carb.  At the end of this bracket there is a clip that, from above image, holds the choke cable.  There's another separate smaller clip just below that (held in place by the same screw/nut) that holds the throttle cable (attachment below).

I somehow lost my small clip for the throttle during my decades long rebuild, sending carb off to get rebuilt, and moving/retiring (can't understand how that could happen...).  I sent image to Scoutpilot and he fixed me up.  And as per my experience, after searching/finding or going to some alternate fix, vendors eventually get around to offering parts I've needed - always after the fact:
