Application
Intended for Ford GPW rear springs with 9 or 11 spring leaves. The GPW-5724A is the small clamp that holds the upper three spring leaves together. For the larger clamp (eight leaves), GPW-5724C is used. Ford GPW used a different clamp system than Willys MB - a U-shaped metal clamp with bolt fastening instead of the MB-style wrapped clamp.
Installation notes
Installation requires rivets and riveting tools. The clamp must be heated before being bent around the spring pack with a hammer. Check that the chamfered edges of the original spring leaves are present - this is a characteristic of authentic Ford GPW springs.
Compatibility
ONLY suitable for Ford GPW springs. Not compatible with Willys MB springs which use a different clamp system. Note: reproduction springs without chamfered leaf edges may not be original GPW specification. Ford GPW springs are marked with a stamped letter (early production) rather than painted markings.
Historical context
Ford GPW used a characteristic U-shaped clamp design that differed from the Willys MB system. This design was based on Ford's earlier Model A spring clamp (code 5330) but adapted for the heavier military jeep application.
