★ Correct military specification according to TM 9-803 and ORD 7 SNL G-503. Two pieces required per footman loop; standard WWII jeep uses 15 footman loops (30 bolts total).
Application
Used for mounting footman loops at various body locations: rear panel (6 pieces), tool brackets for shovel and axe (3 pieces), passenger seat for canvas storage (4 pieces), top bow canvas straps (2 pieces). Common bolt in WWII body assembly.
Installation notes
The bolt works together with a hexagon nut (nut, plain, hexagon) and lock washer. Ford GPW models often have pre-drilled tapping plates at the rear of the body; Willys MB may use backing plates. Screw is fitted from outside of body, nut on the inside. Torque: hand-tight with slotted screwdriver, do not overtighten to avoid damaging panel or thread.
Compatibility
Fits all WWII military vehicles using footman loops. Identical specification used on MB, GPW, M38, various Dodge and GMC models. Note: this is the body mounting — for canvas top bow assembly a different length may sometimes be used.
Historical context
The footman loop was a versatile mounting point on WWII vehicles, originally intended for canvas tarpaulins, tool straps and equipment. The term 'footman loop' originates from carriage building, where loops served to attach footrests or straps.
