Installation notes
The cable is fitted between the engine block (passenger side bottom) and the frame crossmember. First attach the ball-end coupling to the engine block, tension the cable to the crossmember and secure in the designated slot. After installation, check that the cable is under tension but not over-tensioned.
Historical context
The engine stay cable was fitted on WWII jeeps to provide additional stability to the drivetrain during military deployment in rough terrain. This reinforcement helped reduce vibration and extend the service life of engine and frame mounting points.
