★ Accurate reproduction of the original A-499 clutch operating rod for authentic restoration of WWII jeeps.
Application
Suitable for Willys MB (1941-1945), Ford GPW (1941-1945) and Hotchkiss M201 equipped with T-84 transmission. Fits in the clutch operating system between pedal arm and cross shaft (bellcrank).
Installation notes
The rod connects the short lever on the pedal shaft to the input arm of the cross shaft. Check the hole diameter (1/4") for wear before fitting the new rod. When replacing: ensure correct alignment of the cross shaft so that the short arm points towards the rod and the long arm towards the clutch cable.
Compatibility
Specific to vehicles with 8-1/2" clutch and T-84 transmission. Later CJ models (from 1945 onwards) often use a longer 10-1/2" rod. Not compatible with these versions without modification of the clutch operating system.
Historical context
The A-499 number refers to the original Willys-Overland part coding used for both MB and GPW production during WWII. The rod formed part of the mechanical clutch operating system that was characteristic of all 1/4-ton 4x4 trucks.
