Application
Willys MB (1941-1945) and Ford GPW (1941-1945). This component is part of the battery mounting system where the battery tray rests on the right-hand frame rail and is anchored via this bracket to the right-hand side fender.
Installation notes
The bracket is mounted between the battery tray assembly and the fender on the passenger side. Check that the original mounting holes are present in the fender. Used in combination with battery tray, battery hold-down frame (A-1291) and J-bolts (A-1164).
Compatibility
Specific to Willys MB and Ford GPW. Not compatible with later CJ models which have a different battery mounting arrangement. Note: this bracket is part of a complete battery mounting system — verify that all other components (tray, frame, J-bolts, rods) are present.
Historical context
The battery in the Willys MB and Ford GPW was mounted on the right-hand side of the engine compartment, just behind the headlamps. The mounting system had to hold the heavy 6V battery securely in place during off-road use under harsh combat conditions.
