Application
Ford GPW (1941-1945). The F-marking indicates Ford production. For Willys MB, the unmarked or W-marked variant is used.
Installation notes
Mounts to the top of the battery tray and to the front wing. Works together with the J-bolts (A-1164) and the battery hold down frame for complete battery mounting. Overpaint in Olive Drab after installation.
Compatibility
Specific for Ford GPW with F-marking. Not compatible with later civilian CJ models due to different battery location and mounting method.
Historical context
Ford produced approximately 280,000 GPW jeeps during WWII with their own parts marking (F-marked). This bracket was part of the 6V electrical system and ensured stable battery mounting under extreme off-road conditions.
