Application
Specifically developed for the Autolite gauges in the Willys MB Slat (serial numbers 100001 to 103544, circa December 1941) and the Willys MB (1941-1945). These gauges were standard equipment in the instrument panel for ammeter reading, fuel level, oil pressure and water temperature.
Installation notes
Carefully remove the old chrome bezel without damaging the gauge dial. First fit the new seal, then the glass and secure everything with the new chrome bezel. Ensure the glass is dust-free before fitting.
Compatibility
Fits the original Autolite round gauges as fitted in the Willys MB Slat and MB. Not compatible with later CJ models which used different gauge types. Ford GPW used similar gauges but is not explicitly mentioned for this product.
Historical context
Auto-Lite supplied the electrical instrumentation for thousands of military jeeps during WWII, including the characteristic round gauges with chrome bezel that were fitted in the Willys MB dashboard.
