Application
Suitable for Willys MB from serial number 143507, Ford GPW late production and Hotchkiss M201. On earlier jeeps the round silencer was used (up to MB #143507). Mounting on passenger side of chassis.
Installation notes
The silencer is mounted with two brackets to the chassis: front bracket and rear bracket. Early production used a carriage bolt for the front mounting, later replaced by a bolt with welded bracket to the hat channel. Fit with correct rubber mountings and clamps.
Compatibility
NOT suitable for early MB/GPW with round silencer (MB up to #143507). NOT suitable for 'deep mud' systems where the silencer is mounted beneath the rear deck. This standard oval silencer is specific to the regular side exhaust system.
Historical context
The oval silencer replaced the earlier round version during wartime production and provided better sound attenuation. The internal chicane construction is essential for the characteristic sound of these military vehicles.
