Application
Suitable for Willys MB (1941-1945), Ford GPW (1941-1945), Hotchkiss M201, Willys CJ-2A (1946-1949), CJ-3A (1949-1953), CJ-3B (1953-1968), M38 (1950-1952) and M38A1 (1952-1971). Fitted between the front fenders and body side panels where the fender bolts pass through.
Installation notes
The welting is placed under the fender bolts when fitting the front fenders. The pre-formed pieces are positioned between the fender and the body/body side panels, after which the mounting bolts pass through the holes in the material. Ensure all contact points between metal parts are covered to achieve optimal sound dampening.
Compatibility
This kit fits all models listed in the application. Please note: this is specific to the front fenders. For bonnet welting (grille to bonnet), a separate kit with split-rivets is required. Not compatible with later CJ-5/CJ-7 models which use different mounting methods.
Historical context
Anti-squeak welting was standard on all WWII Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps and continued into the civilian CJ models and post-war military M38/M38A1. The impregnated canvas material was an effective and economical solution against squeaking caused by metal-on-metal contact during off-road use.
