Installation notes
When mounting the body to the chassis: use only one pad per mounting point unless the frame shows some flexing. Fit all body components (wings, grille, body) before tightening bolts definitively. Ensure sufficient clearance between firewall and engine block (approx. 6mm) for the carburettor linkage.
Compatibility
As standard, MB/GPW body mounting uses 12 rubber pads and 2 felt pads. The felt pads are specifically placed beneath the toeboard gussets at the front. This set of 13 felt pads differs from the standard configuration - verify before fitting which configuration your vehicle requires.
Historical context
During WWII, Ford GPW and Willys MB jeeps were manufactured with different types of mounting pads between body and chassis. Early models used rubber-fabric laminates, whilst later production also employed felt pads at specific mounting points.
