Circuit breaker bracket under dashboard
Mounting bracket for circuit breakers
Metal mounting bracket for fitting circuit breakers behind the dashboard. This bracket forms an essential part of the 6-volt electrical system and holds the circuit breakers in place to protect the horn and fuel gauge circuits. The bracket is mounted to the reinforcement bar between the dashboard and the firewall.

★ Reproduction of the original mounting bracket, essential for correct and safe installation of the circuit breakers in the electrical system.
Application
The bracket is used in combination with circuit breakers (typically 5-15 ampere for fuel gauge and 15-20 ampere for horn, depending on production year). Mounting takes place on the horizontal reinforcement bar running from the firewall to the dashboard, visible from the passenger footwell.
Installation notes
The bracket is mounted centrally behind the dashboard on the transverse reinforcement bar. For inspection, lie with your head in the passenger footwell or use a mirror. The fuel gauge circuit breaker points towards the driver's side (where the cable from the fuel tank enters). Ensure correct routing of the wiring to prevent strain on the connections.
Compatibility
Circuit breaker configurations varied during production. Early models had 5 amp (fuel gauge) and 15 amp (horn), later production used two 15 amp breakers. The bracket itself is universal for standard circuit breakers with Douglas connector. Not suitable for later Klixon breakers with Packard rubber connections without modification.
Historical context
During WWII, circuit breakers were an important safety feature on military vehicles, as opposed to ordinary fuses. The thermal circuit breakers reset automatically after cooling, which was essential in combat situations where replacing a fuse could be impractical.
