M37 First Aid Kit

I took a second look - NO SLOTS on the 1963 M37B1 - I guess I will have to use footman loops! Or could avoid all this and just throw some band aids and neosporin in the glove box! Would be a helluva lot cheaper!

Bruce - thanks for the great photos and help finding the bumpers. I bought a bag of small pullman loops for the same reason. Painted a set of small bolts and then wondered about the height of drilling holes to attach. I was thinking of aiming high just to make sure that the slack in the strap will kind of sling the kit/sag down and make sure it doesn't rest on the floor board.

I wouldn't make it too high? I also thread the strap back into the clamp, so it doesn't scratch the door.
I used brass, because I wanted the Bill Wincapaw look, he had all of his nuts/bolts & fasteners cadmium plated.........I am not going that far (heh-heh), but when I see them, I buy them. The brass is to soft, but works for the f/a kit.
If you haven't seen Bill's old 37, there should be a link from my webshots page?
