★ Accurate reproduction of the original instruction plates as used on WWII military jeeps. These identification plates were fitted as standard to the axle housings to inform maintenance personnel of the universal joint type.
Installation notes
The plates were originally fixed with small rivets to the axle housings of front and/or rear axle. Mounting at the correct location is important for a historically correct restoration.
Compatibility
Note: RZEPPA joints were primarily used on early Willys MB and Ford GPW models. Check the type of universal joint (RZEPPA, Bendix or Spicer) before fitting these plates — not all jeeps had RZEPPA joints.
Historical context
The RZEPPA universal joint (developed by Alfred H. Rzeppa) was one of three types used in WWII jeeps. The instruction plates served as field instruction for mechanics to directly identify the joint type during maintenance under combat conditions.
