Application
Willys MB 1941-1945, Ford GPW 1941-1945 and Hotchkiss M201. This support is spot welded to the inside of the left front fender and works together with the headlamp support rod and wing nut to secure the headlamp bucket firmly yet tiltably.
Installation notes
The support is attached via spot welds to the inside of the fender. Ensure positioning is correct before welding, so that the headlamp support rod and wing nut align properly. The headlamp must be able to tilt freely forward for engine inspection.
Compatibility
Specific to the left side (driver's side). For the right side, a mirrored variant is required (part A-2970). Fits both early and late production MB/GPW models. Also compatible with French Hotchkiss M201 which has identical fender construction.
Historical context
Originally developed for the WWII Willys MB and Ford GPW 1/4-ton 4x4 trucks (1941-1945). The tilting headlamp construction was a practical design that facilitated engine maintenance in field conditions.
