    Is there a drwg, schematic or diagram detailing the size and number holes required for an early cj5? I have bought a fiberglass tub and would like to have a precise and accurate way to install the holes for the tub.

    I thought i saw something on CJ3b technical pages but I'm not sure of the accuracy for the later jeeps.

    Thanks

    Rich

    Howard has or had a dwg showing the firewall hole layout. He may post it. If not I will look to see if I kept a copy.

    For mounting the tub your best bet is to plop it on the chassis & start drilling. I'm not aware of any diagrams detailing locations of pedal/steering/etc. hole locations; from some of the horror stories floating around about aftermarket tubs I doubt that information has ever been publicly released.

    Here is what I did
    Mount the radiator/grill mounting bolt rubber guy
    put the body on the frame on 4 x 4 blocks
    loosely attach the fenders to the body and grill
    measure everything to make it square
    Pull the block in exchange for the mounting pads
    start making fasteners tighter until it makes up properly
    set your hood next to check your alignment work
    drill your mounting holes from the bottom replace the drill bit with a bolt
