Application
For mounting data plates on the glove box lid of Ford GPW jeeps, production years 1942-1945. The Ford GPW used rivets to secure the three plates (serial number plate, warning plate and wiring diagram), unlike the Willys MB which used screws with special nuts in later production.
Installation notes
The rivets are inserted from the front through the pre-drilled holes in the data plates and glove box lid and flattened at the rear. Ford applied this method throughout GPW production. Work carefully to avoid damaging the often fragile data plates.
Compatibility
Specific to Ford GPW. Note: early GPWs (1942) sometimes had brass rivets with brass data plates, later production predominantly used steel rivets. Willys MB used a different mounting system with screws and special flat nuts.
Historical context
Ford produced approximately 277,000 GPW jeeps between 1942 and 1945, with the three identification plates on the glove box lid secured using rivets. The material of the plates varied from brass (early) to steel and aluminium (late), but the rivet method remained consistent.
