UPDATE:  It turns out Mike still operates the business  topbows, but is too busy with his current project, so topbows is temporarily closed.   He mentions in the comment below that John Bizal at www.midwestmil.com has bows as well.  Thanks Mike!

Yesterday morning I received a question from a reader regarding where to purchase top bows for a CJ-2A (they had checked with topbows.com and found they weren’t in business).

Unfortunately, I can’t find that email (please re-email me if it is you) — it is possible I accidentally deleted the email as I’m still getting used to my new android phone. Why I’m perfectly capable with a computer and perfectly in-capable with a phone still confuses me ….

Since I don’t know of anyone that sells top bows, I did some searches on CJ-2A Top Bows, but had no luck.

Then I remember that Beachwood Canvas carried various top-related items.  After a quick tour of their site, I found  they  sell a complete set or just the front set.  You can follow this link https://www.beachwoodcanvas.com/order/productlist.cfm

Then, select CJ-2A from the drop down list of Vehicle types & Group 18: Body, Body Parts and Kits.  Finally, enter the search term ‘bows’.  Bows are $195 for the front set and $350 for an entire set.

WWII Braden J2-134 Capstan Winch **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Josh is auctioning this nicely restored Capstan Winch on eBay.

He writes, “You are bidding on a WW2 BRADEN J2-134 CAPSTAN WINCH for the WW2 Ford GPW, GPA, Willys MB and Weasel.     This auction is for the head unit as pictured and the Portrayal Press Capstan Winch manual. The winch is the correct war period model with the four cap screws in the head.  The winch has been been sandblasted, cleaned, and painted with TM9 Ordnance Red oxide epoxy primer and TM9 lusterless Olive Drab shade #6. In the preservation of this winch I did create a custom gasket for the oil sump and will include the broken original with the sale. I also fabricated a new top cover and will also include the damage original.  As you can see in the pictures the gears all look fantastic and the winch turns easily and smoothly as it should. All oil pan bolts are marked RA. The only negative things I can say about the winch are that the oil pan has a couple of dents (they could be worked out) and the area around the bottom drain plug has been brazed at one time. The drain plug does still function and the repair doesn’t appear to leak. Both of these imperfections will not easily be visible when mounted.”
