★ Pressed steel splash shield to original Willys specification, with characteristic additional mounting hole as fitted to MB production.
Application
Suitable for Willys MB (1941-1945), Hotchkiss M201, Ford GPW, CJ-2A and CJ-3A with 6-volt electrical system. Note: this is the Willys MB version with additional hole — Ford GPW used a different variant without this extra mounting point.
Installation notes
Bolted to the frame in the engine compartment, between air cleaner and generator. The additional mounting hole provides greater stability than the Ford version. Check before fitting that the existing mounting points on the frame are correct — early and late frames may show variations.
Compatibility
Specific to Willys MB configuration. Ford GPW used a variant without the additional hole. Not interchangeable with 12-volt conversions where the generator is often replaced by an alternator — verify that the original 6-volt generator is still fitted.
Historical context
This splash shield formed part of the standard protection in the engine compartment of WWII jeeps, where the Auto-Lite 6-volt generator and oil bath air cleaner were protected against water spray and mud during off-road operations.
