★ This headlight bracket is an accurate reproduction of the original WWII component and ensures correct mounting of the headlight housing on the Ford GPW.
Application
Ford GPW produced between 1942 and 1945. The left headlight bracket is specific to the driver side. Fits vehicles with original or correct reproduction wings that have the proper mounting points.
Installation notes
Bracket is fitted to the left front wing with a special bolt (A-2873 headlight mounting bracket bolt). The headlight bucket is then mounted onto the bracket. Pay attention to correct positioning of the hinge – it must be able to tilt upwards so that the headlight can pivot backwards to illuminate the engine compartment.
Compatibility
Designed for Ford GPW. Not interchangeable with Willys MB headlight hinge – Ford used hinges that were spot-welded to the underside of the bracket, whilst Willys employed a different construction principle. Check that your wing has the original Ford configuration.
Historical context
Ford GPW jeeps featured a characteristic headlight construction whereby the headlights could be folded backwards to provide working light at night during engine maintenance. This practical function was unique to WWII military jeeps.
