Application
These safety straps are mounted on the body side across the door opening. Suitable for Willys MB, Ford GPW and Hotchkiss M201. The early type was used on the first production series until approximately 1942-1943, after which a later type with canvas loops followed.
Installation notes
The straps are fixed to the body using the supplied swivels/pivot points. Mount left and right across the door opening. Please note: these straps are not a seat belt or safety device, but a historical door opening closure as originally fitted.
Compatibility
Early type for MB/GPW/M201. Two types exist: early model (this one) with specific buckle type, and late model with canvas loops. Check which type suits your vehicle based on year of manufacture and specification.
Historical context
During WWII, these canvas straps were mounted across the door opening as a closure for the open body. The earliest jeeps had a different fixing method than later productions.
