★ High-quality reproduction of this essential engine component. These brackets are often missing, broken or cracked due to age and vibrations.

Application

Suitable for vehicles with L-134 'Go Devil' flat-head engine: Willys MB (1941-1945), Ford GPW (1941-1945), Hotchkiss M201, CJ-2A (1946-1949), CJ-3A (1949-1953) and M38 (1950-1952).

Installation notes

The bracket mounts using three cylinder head bolts on the passenger side of the engine. These bolts must be removed, the bracket positioned and the bolts retightened. The oil filter canister is then secured to the bracket with two C-clamps. Note: some reproductions may have burrs along the edges — finishing may be required for optimal fit.

Compatibility

ONLY for L-head (flathead) 4-134 engines. NOT suitable for F-head engines from later CJ-3A, CJ-3B or later M38A1 vehicles. Check whether your engine has an L-head (valves in block) or F-head (valves in head) configuration.

Historical context

The oil filter canister was originally supplied as optional equipment on military jeeps. Many vehicles left the factory without an oil filter — filtration was considered a luxury at the time, although it significantly extends bearing life.
