★ Reproduction of the original design for the rare Slat Grill jeeps with AC Pancake air filter — a critical component for historically correct restoration.
Application
Used on Willys MB Slat Grill jeeps built from November 1941 to March 1942 (serial numbers MB100001 to approximately MB125809). Specifically for vehicles equipped with the AC Spark Plug Co. Model A-183-40 pancake-style oil bath air filter. This air filter system was replaced by the Oakes model on later production.
Installation notes
The hose connects the outlet of the AC Pancake air filter to the air intake tube that leads to the carburettor. Note: the crossover tube system for the pancake filter has a higher bracket standoff than the later Oakes system. Ensure all connections are airtight for optimal engine performance.
Compatibility
ONLY for early Willys MB Slat Grill with AC Pancake air filter (November 1941 - March 1942). NOT compatible with the later Oakes-style air filter used from March 1942 onwards. The AC Pancake filter was used on both early Willys MB and early Ford GPW, but Ford examples are marked with F-script.
Historical context
The AC Spark Plug Co. pancake-style oil bath air filter was the first type used on Willys MB Slat Grill production. Of the 25,808 Slat Grill jeeps that Willys-Overland produced, the earliest examples had this AC system before it was replaced by the more practical Oakes model.
