Application
Suitable for Hotchkiss M201 jeeps. These safety straps were fitted across the door openings (where no doors were present) to close off the opening during transport or when the vehicle was parked.
Installation notes
The straps are mounted to the fixing points on either side of the door opening. Fitting is achieved using the original mounting brackets or holes in the bodywork. Check before fitting that the mounting points are intact and free from rust.
Compatibility
Specific to M201. Similar straps were also used on Willys MB and Ford GPW, but check exact dimensions and mounting points for applications outside the M201.
Historical context
The Hotchkiss M201 was produced from 1955 to 1966 as a French licence-built version of the Willys MB. These safety straps were standard on vehicles without doors and served as a practical closure for the open side.
