★ Essential component for correct and secure mounting of the fuel tank. The straps are tightened with bolts to clamp the tank firmly in the tank well.
Application
For Ford GPW, 1941-1945. The fuel tank sits under the driver's seat in a recessed tank well. These straps are the only mounting for the tank and must hold the tank securely whilst driving.
Installation notes
The straps hook over the mounting points (brackets) fitted to the floor and transmission tunnel. Two straps run across the front, two across the rear of the tank. Tighten the straps properly — this sometimes requires considerable force to bring the straps together. Use anti-squeak felt strips (separate set) between tank and straps to prevent noise and wear. Note: position any rivets with the head facing outwards (against the tank) to prevent paint damage.
Compatibility
Specific to Ford GPW standard fuel tank (A-9057). Also suitable for Willys MB with comparable tank mounting. Not all reproduction straps fit equally well — check that the length is correct and the mounting holes align with the brackets in your jeep.
Historical context
The fuel tank of the GPW and MB was strategically positioned under the driver's seat to minimise vulnerable points. The metal straps with webbing or felt formed the only mounting for the 38-litre tank.
