★ Reproduction of the original mounting bolts to WWII specifications. This hardware is essential for correct mounting of the characteristic folding headlamps.
Application
This bolt kit is applicable to Willys MB (1941-1945), Ford GPW (1941-1945), and later models such as the CJ-2A and M38 which used the same headlamp construction. The bolt secures the headlamp bracket (headlight arm bracket) to the front wings.
Installation notes
The special bolt passes through the headlamp bracket and is secured to the wing. Note: on Willys MB the bolt is mounted from above (head upwards), whilst on Ford GPW the bolt is mounted from below (nut upwards). Check your vehicle's original configuration before mounting.
Compatibility
Fits all standard WWII jeep wings and headlamp brackets. Note the difference in mounting direction between Willys MB and Ford GPW — this may affect the maximum tilt angle of the headlamp. For reproduction wings: verify thread size before mounting.
Historical context
The folding headlamp construction was a characteristic feature of the WWII jeep, allowing the headlamps to fold 90 degrees upwards for maintenance or when using blackout lighting. These special mounting bolts had to hold the headlamp arm securely whilst still permitting movement.
