★ Reproduction to original specifications. The spring is bolted to the wheel housing and clamps the rear seat when it is folded down.
Installation notes
The springs are mounted with bolts to the inside of both rear wheel housings. When the rear seat is folded down, the seat construction engages the springs, which hold the seat under tension. Two pieces required per vehicle (left and right). Mount together with A2945 pivot tube retainer and optionally A2787 seatback hooks.
Compatibility
Suitable for both Willys MB and Ford GPW rear seats. Also fits early M38 and M201 models with comparable rear seat construction. Note: differences between MB and GPW seats sometimes require adjustment of mounting position.
Historical context
This type of retaining spring was standard on WWII Jeeps to securely fix the rear seat during transport and field use. The spring steel ensures years of reliability even under harsh conditions.
