★ This U-bolt set is specifically developed for the early Willys MB configuration and ensures correct restoration according to original specifications.
Application
Suitable for Willys MB Slat Grille models (serial numbers MB100001 to MB125809, November 1941 to March 1942) and early Willys MB models with the original 8-leaf front springs and 9-leaf rear springs configuration. Not suitable for later MB models which changed to 10- and 11-leaf configurations.
Installation notes
U-bolts are critical fixing elements that clamp the leaf springs to the axles. When fitting, torque correctly according to specifications. After approximately 500 kilometres of use, check and retighten if necessary due to settling of the suspension. U-bolts are single-use items and must not be reused due to thread stretch.
Compatibility
IMPORTANT: This set is only suitable for early MB configurations with 8 front leaves and 9 rear leaves. Later Willys MB models used 10- and 11-leaf configurations and require different U-bolt sets. Check the number of leaves in your springs before ordering.
Historical context
The first 25,808 Willys MB jeeps were produced with Slat Grille and had a lighter spring configuration with 8 front leaves and 9 rear leaves. This early configuration was later strengthened to 10 and 11 leaves for heavier military loads.
