★ Authentic original component from WWII stock. Combat wheel bolts are essential for the safe assembly of split rim wheels and must be torqued to 60-70 ft. according to TM 10-1513.
Application
Willys MB and Ford GPW (1941-1945). Used for mounting combat wheels (split rim wheels) whereby 8 bolts per wheel hold together the inner and outer halves of the rim.
Installation notes
Fit in cross sequence with even progressive tightening. Recommended torque: 60-70 ft. according to TM 10-1513. Ensure that the four lugs on the inner half are aligned with the four notches on the outer half before tightening the bolts.
Compatibility
Exclusively for combat wheels (split rim) - NOT for solid rims. Combat wheels have 8 bolts that split the wheel in the middle. Note: combat wheels are different from dangerous 'split rims' with circlip - combat wheels are safe when correctly assembled.
Historical context
Combat wheels were used during WWII on MB and GPW jeeps to provide run-flat capability via a beadlock ring between the two wheel halves. This enabled field wheel repair, although this was rarely done in practice.
