★ Reproduction of the early push-button windscreen fastener, executed in parkerised finish like the original studs. Suitable for authentic restoration of early jeeps.
Application
Used on early Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps up to serial number MB 164.554 (July 1942). These push-button fasteners were later replaced by the standard capstan-type (cinch fastener). Also applicable on French Hotchkiss M201 with early windscreen frames.
Installation notes
The fastener is screwed into the windscreen frame with a fine thread. Secures the canvas top via push-button mechanism. Note: reproduction versions sometimes have a coarser thread than original. Can be painted directly over the parkerised finish if desired.
Compatibility
ONLY for early windscreen frames with push-button studs. Not compatible with late windscreen frames that use standard capstan-type fasteners (A-4120 second type). Check that your windscreen frame has the correct holes for this type of fastener.
Historical context
The push-button fastener was standard on the earliest production jeeps until July 1942, when production switched to the cheaper and faster to assemble capstan-type fastener system.
