Application

Installation notes
Welding instruction required. Panel must be welded onto the existing bonnet structure. Fit before final welding. Remove primer from weld seams. Repaint in correct Olive Drab colour after fitting.
Compatibility
Specific to early Willys MB Slat Grille models. Not suitable for later MB/GPW with stamped 9-slot grille (from March 1942). Note: Ford GPW Slat Grille jeeps may have differing details.
Historical context
The first 25,808 Willys MB jeeps had a grille of welded steel bars, designed before Ford introduced the lighter stamped model. These early 'Slat Grille' jeeps are amongst the rarest and most sought-after WWII military vehicles.
