The mount is definately different... It a piece welded onto the existing mount that allows for the "flip".SV2IPW wrote:Please if somebody has a CANADIAN MUTT, let upload some photo of the spare tire modification.
My 74 A2 CDN just showed up from its journey from Western Canada a few hours ago.
I'll take a few snaps when I go back to see it again tonite

Re: Restoring my 74 M151A2 CDN...
I must appologise... I forgot my camera both last night and again this afternoon...
Good news for me though. I figured i'd try and fire up the old girl.
After doing a bunch of checks on the condition of everything, we went to work starting it.
After a little bit of minor fuel delivery troubleshooting, it came right to life. I let it run for 15 minutes to check for leaks and what not. Then rolled it in and out of the garage under its own power.... Success!
The body is in pretty decent shape all things considered, some usual dents and some minor distortion, but the battery box floor is pretty shot. What is everyone doing for replacements? The only repro panels i've seen just do the front floors. Anyone have any ideas?

I dont know what it is with them but they seem to have a lot of trouble staying online... at any rate here's the phone number, it should still be good. They are located in Maine.
