Application
For mounting tool box locks on the rear mudguards. Fits both tool boxes (left and right rear). Used in combination with lock assembly A-2895 or A-2899.
Installation notes
The plate is slipped over the two mounting arms of the lock before fitting the mounting screws (two 10-24 x 3/8" machine screws with split lock washers). Provides extra strength and prevents distortion of the thin body panel when tightening the screws.
Compatibility
Suitable for both early Ford GPW bodies with bolted attachment and later composite bodies. Fits both Willys MB and Ford GPW rear mudguards. Varies per body type: early ACM type 1 bodies used nuts, later Ford and composite bodies used tapped holes.
Historical context
This small reinforcement plate was used during wartime production to prevent damage to the thin body panel. Despite its simplicity, this part is often lost during disassembly and is rarely supplied with reproduction bodies.
