Compatibility
Note: This is the Willys MB toggle-type (A-6811) with smooth bezel. Ford GPW used a similar toggle-type but with ribbed bezel and different mounting. Early MB (November 1941-January 1943) had a key switch (A-2517). This toggle switch is for later MB production and suitable for vehicles with floor starter system.
Historical context
The toggle-type switch was standard on the Willys MB and, together with the mechanical floor starter, formed the ignition system of the WWII jeep. Simple and robust design that withstood demanding military conditions.
