Installation notes
The pivot brackets are mounted to the side of the body using the supplied bolt, spring washer and flat washer. The top bows slide through the pivot brackets and are held in place by the pin in the pivot. Note: early (small hole, A2901) and late (large hole, A3719) types exist - check which version fits your vehicle.
Compatibility
These A2901 early type pivot brackets were originally fitted to Willys MB Slat Grill and early VEP Willys MB vehicles. Late production vehicles used the A3719 version with 3/8" UNF thread and larger hole. Check the original type on your vehicle before ordering.
Historical context
The top bow pivot brackets were an essential component of the canvas top system on WWII military jeeps, allowing soldiers to quickly raise the top for protection against weather or lay it flat for tactical situations.
