WOA7225
Floor-mounted starter switch 6 volt
For early-type foot operation
Heavy-duty floor-mounted starter switch for WWII jeeps and early civilian models. This foot-operated switch mounts directly to the floor plate, just above the transmission tunnel, and was used on all vehicles with the early starter system without solenoid on the starter motor itself.

Features
- Heavy-duty construction designed for high amperage 6V systems
- Correct paper insulator between terminals

★ High-quality reproduction with correct construction and materials, suitable for both 6 and 12 volt electrical systems.
Application
Willys MB (1941-1945), Ford GPW (1941-1945), CJ-2A (1945-1949), CJ-3A (1949-1953). Used on vehicles with early-type starter where the starter switch is mounted on the floor rather than on the starter motor itself.
Installation notes
Mounts with 2 bolts directly to the floor plate, just above the transmission tunnel. The 2 terminals (5/16-24 thread, 9/16" hex nuts) connect to the starter wiring. The switch only provides voltage when the foot pedal is depressed — upon release the contact immediately breaks.
Compatibility
This floor-mounted switch is ONLY suitable for early models with foot-operated starter. Late CJ-3A, CJ-3B and later models used a mechanical starter linkage or solenoid on the starter motor — check your original configuration before ordering.
Historical context
During WWII, all Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps used this floor-mounted starter switch as standard equipment. The switch was also applied to the first civilian CJ models until the system was changed to a solenoid-based starter.
