Application
Specific to Ford GPW jeeps (1941-1945) with 6-volt electrical system. Also fits Willys MB when fitted with correct mounting bolts (Willys uses different bolt sizes than GPW). Mounts beneath the generator, directly onto the chassis.
Installation notes
The splash shield mounts flat against the inside of the left chassis rail. The mounting lip with 2 slotted holes fastens into the tapped holes on the chassis; the single tab with round hole fastens to the passenger side engine mount. GPW version uses 5/16" bolts; Willys MB version uses 1/4" bolts. When removing/installing the engine, check that the shield is not bent.
Compatibility
This is the GPW version (WOA642F). There is a difference between the Willys MB type (WOA642) and Ford GPW type: the MB type has an additional mounting hole. The mounting bolts also differ between both variants. Willys MB uses 2× 1/4-28 bolts and 1× 1/4-20 bolt; Ford GPW uses 5/16" bolts.
Historical context
During WW2, jeeps drove through mud, water and dust in all climates. This simple yet essential shield prevented splashing from damaging the 6-volt generator and battery — crucial components for starting, lighting and radio communication in the field.
