★ Replica of the original capstan-type stud as used on standard production MB, GPW and M201 vehicles. The rolled lip holds the canvas grommet in place through tension from the rear fastening straps.
Application
Suitable for Willys MB, Ford GPW and Hotchkiss M201. Used on standard production vehicles from serial number 164554 onwards. Early vehicles (slatgrill/script MB/GPW before serial number 164554) used a different 'push button' type fastener.
Installation notes
Ten studs are mounted along the upper part of the outer windscreen frame. The canvas top has grommets/eyelets that slide over these studs. The capstan lip holds the grommets in place when tension is applied via the rear holddown straps of the top.
Compatibility
NOT compatible with early slatgrill or script MB/GPW vehicles (before serial number 164554) – these used a 'push button' type fastener with button and hook. The twist-type fasteners from the 1950s were never used on MB/GPW windscreen frames (but were used on winterkit canvas such as hood blankets).
Historical context
The capstan-type stud was introduced at serial number 164554 and remained standard on all subsequent MB, GPW and M201 production. The simple yet effective design allowed quick fitting and removal of the canvas top under field conditions.
