Jeep Parts

Totec tyres can supply 700x16 bar grips and the standard 600x16, they may even be able to get the 650x16 bar grips , these are like hens teeth to find nowadays 

I have found Jeffrey engineering very very helpfull with mechanical knowledge, they are slightly dearer than others for the buying  spares  from but  i try to buy a few parts from them as a thankyou for all the free advice they have given me overe the years , I dont know about their standards of workshop repairs as i have always done my own repairs to jeeps , they do suffer from the same as other big jeep  parts suppliers in that they can only supply the quality of parts  they can obtain  and if it  wont fit or badly made you will have to contact them and ask for a refund , joes motorpool have so far supplied top quality parts and very rerasonably priced however they are not so knowlegable when it comes to advice on the phone, its very difficult for me as i buy so many parts to restore so many jeeps , I dont like to critisise a large parts supplier but some do get very seemingly fed up with the customers and dont like taking parts back even when its absolutely obviouse the parts are unusable , I havn't yet purchased a single unusable part from joes motorpool and find that their  brake cylinders are not only the cheapest but outlast all the other suppliers brake cylinders by years 

I have allsorts of spares for sale, my parts are not cheap they are in line with ebay prices but they are examined by me and detailed description given , Im not one for passing off broken or rubbish parts knowingly

there are many reproduction tractor parts that will fit a willys mb, m38  or hotchkiss jeep saving you a lot of money compared to the cost of the Jeep repro parts , things like mf 135 bottom radiator hoses will fit directly for  the willys m38a1  top radiator hose, the 2 fuel tank well caps on ww2 and Hotchkiss jeeps can be replaced with mf 35 or 135 fuel caps availbale from Emmark Uk ltd , part number em709, a very good 12 volt alternator  can be used from a mf 135 tractor , part number alt114, or a traditional 12 volt dynamo for  the same tractor can be used ,  I have discovered other parts will interchange  like headlamp lenzes, innertubes, bulbs etc , Im  sure there are many more tractor parts that will interchange with willys jeeps  that I dont yet know about , please let me know if you have discovered any

I have discovered a tractor dynamo or alternator meant for a massey ferguson tractor works well on a willys jeep, the massey ferguson  35 or   135 tractor generators or alternators can be adapted to fit 

So far there is no book available to warn people of the dangerous or poor quality reproduction parts on on the market that fail almost instantly , also badly made panels that don’t fit properly, the suppliers buy these  parts in bulk , china, India etc,   when a bad batch is discovered they are faced with 2 choices, selling the deficient parts  as normall or dispose of the parts and loose money, unfortunately they often  carry on and sell the parts. They never seem to recall any parts , some of which should be recalled as they could cause an accident or a fire

 when I have  called  them back to complain about the part failing they always seem to use the same excuse saying It’s the first report they have had and no one else has complained , I know this is not the case as I hear almost every day from people who have to throw these parts away and start again to look for original or other alternative parts

One good Idea is to ask if the part you are buying would be returnable if unfit for purpose?  good luck with that

I am thinking of writing a small book all about highs and lows you will encounter buying and maintaining an old  jeep and will be itemising all these very shoddy and sometimes dangerouse   reproduction parts,

My spelling will be corrected, LOL

call me if you like one evening and I can give you a rundown on  the new repro  parts that you should avoid buying , I hope you can right short hand because It’s a long list

Money saving tip

Compare the prices on these  items and you will be shocked, 

Radiator hoses can be matched up with some tractor hoses

Fuel tank well caps, available from emmark uk for just a few pounds, part no em709, these are  mf 35 fuel tank caps, just remove the rubber seal and they screw on. they look identical

One piece bottom radiator hoses can be matched up with agricultural suppliers if you take a pattern one with you, usually about £7 instead of £17.

Same with the radiator caps, take an old one into an agricultural parts supplier and match one up.

Inner tubes and liners, valve sheaths cost a lot less from agricultural tyre suppliers.

Original  radiators and fuel tanks can be repaired instead of replaced

Better quality and cheaper bar grip tyres can be sourced from agricultural tyre suppliers

Alternators can be purchased from auto factors and ag supplies, mf 135 tractor alternator available on ebay for a fraction of the price , just turn the rear lugs , the mounting  brackets are available from Rodney Rushton or make your own as its only the rear lug that needs a securing point the front lug is in the right place already or  tel 07768265911 for rodney rushtons mounting kit

Shaped high quality cunifer brake pipes, Rodney Rushton

fuel pumps from jefrey engineering tested,

other suppliers dont test them and there are dangerouse defective pumps out there on the market

brake cylinders from joes motor pool as they have the mounting screws included and are a motorfactor branded product

 jefrey engineering   are the only knowledgeable jeep repair and parts supplies company I know of  who will stop and give there time and  mechanical advice over  the phone so remember to return the compliment by purchasing parts from them when you can

These can be easily made from a plastic end of an old gas strut from a scrap hatchback car or a small short  section of mild steel pipe with some slices cut half way down its length, weld onto the throttle pedal with a mig welder then fold the sliced petals in around the ball of the throtle lincage and spot weld them in that position  

I have some old large originals fitment alternators for £150 each

Alternatively fit a modern 24v alternator available from an autofactor

This is smaller lighter and contains its own regulator all in one unit so

you can remove the large cumbersome 24v dynamo and regulator box

£50 each

field  folding  bed £25

I have some worn out take off parts from jeeps, also spare parts that came with jeeps I purchased such as wings, bonnets,  hotchkiss alternators, fuel tank, Hotchkiss steering wheels, pvc hoods, sides, doors, Hotchkiss goodyear radial tyres £65 each

I have 2 rollbars, from Hotchkiss m201  Ideal for all willys ford or hotchkiss jeeps, one has seat belts connected £150 each
