MODEL:
M966, M966A1, M996, M996A1, M997, M997A1, M997A2, M1025, M1025A1, M1025A2, M1026, and M1026A1
SUBJECT:
Armored Door Cracks
DEFICIENCY:
Reports from the field indicate the armor doors are cracking due to stress created by the door being pushed open beyond the limits of the door stop, flexing the door and eventually creating a crack.
COMMENTS:
A procedure has been developed to fabricate a reinforcement bracket to mount on the weak area of the door. This bracket should retard further cracking at that location. Fabrication and installation of the bracket can be accomplished in the field using the following materials, parts, and procedure.
MATERIALS/PARTS:
5310-01-254-4284 Locknut 4 per door
9515-00-237-1885 Sheet Metal AR
5305-00-267-8953 Screw 1 per door
5310-00-809-4058 Washer 1 per door
PARTS TO BE FABRICATED:
- To fabricate door hinge reinforcement bracket for left door, refer to figure 3-8.
- To fabricate door hinge reinforcement bracket for right door, refer to figure 3-9.
- Spot-paint fabricated brackets IAW TM 43-0139.
