Hood Latches Unique to M37 ?

Post by w30bob »

Hi Guys,

Are the two finger hood latches (and the smaller windshield hold down latches) on the M37 unique to it.....or are they used on some other military vehicle?

thanks,
bob

Can't speak for anything else, but the M43 uses a few of them in the rear compartment to hold the seat backrests in the up position.

They're used on several of the WC Series vehicles too; I bought a used pair thinking they would fit my M37 but they were shorter and didn't fit. Still have 'em-may have to put them on eBay at some point.
