Application
Ford GPW jeeps with 6 volt electrical system and Auto-Lite generator (models GEG or GDZ). The generator hold down brace attaches to the generator front plate and to a stud on the engine plate, with the spring ensuring proper tension.
Installation notes
The bracket mounts to the generator front plate with a bolt and spacer. The other end attaches to the stud on the engine plate with the tension spring in between. The spring allows the generator to pivot for belt tension adjustment. Verify that the stud is present on the engine plate before installing the brace.
Compatibility
Specific for Ford GPW with F-marking. Willys MB used unmarked or W-marked variants. Early and late production GPW used the same hold down brace configuration. Please note: not compatible with 12V alternator conversions.
Historical context
Ford produced the GPW from 1942 to 1945 and marked many parts with the characteristic script-F. Towards the end of the war, some Ford parts were also fitted to Willys MB jeeps when parts became used interchangeably.
