Application
These mirrors were not fitted as standard on WWII jeeps — neither the Willys MB nor the Ford GPW came from the production line with interior mirrors. They were, however, available through ordnance depots as an optional addition. Units in the field carried out widely varied field modifications for mounting mirrors on the windshield frame or chassis.
Installation notes
Mounting requires the correct bracket (Ordnance no. 1818) for attachment to the windshield frame. Position and mounting method varied greatly depending on the field modification — original WWII mounting showed no standardised placement.
Historical context
Interior mirrors were not standard equipment on WWII military jeeps. Units in the field added these mirrors where necessary, which led to a great diversity of mounting configurations that can be found on original vehicles today.
