Application
This throttle cable is suitable for early production Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps (1941-early 1942). Specifically for vehicles from the first production runs, including slat grille models. Later production used a different version without brass head.
Installation notes
Cable runs from dashboard mounting to carburettor throttle linkage. Inner cable is attached to throttle shaft linkage with a round brass wire stop with set screw. Outer cable is clamped to carburettor bracket with clamp and nut. Check correct length and smooth operation before final installation.
Compatibility
Note: this early version with brass head is specific to first production MB/GPW. Later models (from mid-1942 onwards) used a different cable head version. Not interchangeable with later throttle cables or choke cables. For M38 and M38A1 a different version is used.
Historical context
The early throttle cables with brass head were used on the very first Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps during early war production in 1941-1942. Later in the war, this design was replaced by a simpler version as part of material-saving measures.
