I need the parts shown in this picture in step 10. I need all of them except for parts A23 and Dc3. They're from the Bronco GPW kit 35107:



Once again, I need parts:

P3 (x2), P9, P16, P17, Da1 (x2), Da18 (x2), and B67 from the Bronco GPW kit #35107.

Ok. I have the windscreen and frame but I just need some details. I'm looking for the Bronco PE parts that attach to the frame.

I'm now looking for the Bronco PE parts P3, P9, P 16 and P17 from any of their 1/4 ton GPW truck kits. Thanks.

Mike,
It looks like a few of those could be scratch-built relatively easily. P3 from some strips cut from beer cans (if you don't have any scrap PE laying around), and P9, P16, and P17 from appropriate diameters of wire. DA16 and DA18 could be made from some very fine wire bent into a double loop with CA glue added to fill the loops to create the wingnut shape. May or may not be not as good as the original parts, but will save you from getting stranded.

Although I see what you're saying and I would definitely attempt it, I have nothing to base it off of. I don't know the sizes I need to make these parts.

Ha ha! Ahmed, I guess plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery....

Mike, as far as sizing, I'd use the frame you say you already have as a gage for comparison, and use the TLAR method to get sizes close. Won't be perfect, but should be close enough for the Mk I eyeball at that scale. Good luck!
