Application
Suitable for Ford GPW 1941-1945. Also applicable to Willys MB from the same period — both vehicles used identical headlight brackets.
Installation notes
Mounted to the inside of the right front wing with special fixing bolt. The bracket forms part of the hinge system allowing the headlamp to fold upward to illuminate the engine.
Compatibility
Fits both Ford GPW and Willys MB 1941-1945. Please note: this is the right-hand bracket (passenger side). For the left-hand side, a corresponding part is available separately (A-2971).
Historical context
The characteristic folding headlamps of the WWII jeep enabled night-time engine inspections without opening the bonnet — a practical solution for military use.
