Application
Suitable for Willys MB (1941-1945), Ford GPW (1941-1945) and Hotchkiss M201 (post-war). The crash pads are mounted to the inside of the rear side panels, between the door opening and the rear of the vehicle, at the height of the front seats.
Installation notes
The crash pads are mounted to metal backing plates (sold separately) which are fixed to the body with screws. Installation runs over the vertical reinforcement rail (hat channel) of the body. Preferably use the original slotted truss head screws. Positioning and drilling of the fixing holes requires precision — it is advisable to use a template or temporary clamps.
Compatibility
Fits Willys MB, Ford GPW and Hotchkiss M201. Please note: this concerns only the canvas covering with filling. The metal backing plates and fixing screws must be ordered separately. For correct installation, the metal plates with spacers for the hat channel are strongly recommended over wooden backing plates.
Historical context
The crash pads or hip pads were a safety feature on WWII jeeps to prevent injury from contact with the metal body during cornering or cross-country use.
