Application
This handle fits Ford GPW (1941-1945), Hotchkiss M201 and the post-war civilian models CJ-2A (1945-1949), CJ-3A (1949-1953), M38 (1950-1952) and CJ-3B (1953-1968) which use the Ford/M201-type handbrake system. Note: Willys MB used a different type of handbrake lever.
Installation notes
The handle is fixed to the handbrake lever with two rivets (usually brass). Check the fit before riveting permanently. Ensure that the handle is firmly secured without excessive play.
Compatibility
Specific to Ford GPW and M201 type handbrake systems. Not compatible with the Willys MB early-type external contracting band brake system. Ford GPW and M201 used an internal expanding handbrake system which was also applied to the mentioned post-war CJ models.
Historical context
Ford GPW jeeps and the French Hotchkiss M201 used a different handbrake system than the Willys MB, with internal brake shoes instead of the external band brake. This system was also adopted on the post-war civilian CJ models.
