HOOD RAIN GUTTER
WO670345
Bonnet rain gutter
Prevents water infiltration at engine block
Practical rain gutter that mounts under the bonnet hinges to direct rainwater away from the engine. Prevents water from entering the spark plug recesses, particularly plug #4. Originally standard on the Hotchkiss M201, but a valuable addition for any jeep regularly parked outdoors or frequently driven in the rain.

★ A practical component originally supplied as standard on the Hotchkiss M201. Prevents ignition problems from water infiltration — essential for vehicles frequently parked outdoors.
Application
Suitable for Willys MB, Ford GPW and Hotchkiss M201. Originally standard equipment on the M201, but a useful upgrade for MB and GPW vehicles regularly driven in rain or parked outdoors.
Installation notes
The gutter is mounted under the existing bonnet hinge bolts. Remove the hinge bolt, place the rain gutter underneath and reattach. No additional drilling required. Ensure the gutter is correctly positioned to direct water to both sides of the engine.
Compatibility
Fits Willys MB, Ford GPW and Hotchkiss M201 with standard bonnet hinges. The M201 often had this component fitted as standard. For MB and GPW, this is a useful addition, particularly when used in wet conditions.
Historical context
The Hotchkiss M201 was built under licence in France (1952-1967) with various improvements over the original MB/GPW. This rain gutter was one of those improvements to prevent water infiltration at the spark plugs — a known problem with jeeps operating in wet conditions.
