★ Reproduction manufactured to original WWII specifications. Essential component for correct restoration of early Willys MB jeeps from 1941-1942.
Application
Specific to early Willys MB production (1941-early 1942). Early frames had different mounting details than late production. Fits 6V installations with US Group 2 battery.
Installation notes
The battery tray mounts to the front of the engine compartment on the right-hand frame rail. On Willys MB, the tray is traditionally riveted; on Ford GPW bolted. Mounting is to the frame, engine support bracket and front cross member. Supplied unpainted, finish with primer and OD paint.
Compatibility
Early Willys MB production only. Not interchangeable with late production due to minor differences in mounting holes and dimensions. Ford GPW used bolted system instead of rivets. Check frame configuration and mounting points before ordering.
Historical context
The Willys MB battery tray was riveted to the frame during the war, unlike Ford GPW which used bolts. Early production frames (1941-1942) exhibit small but important differences compared to later versions.
