★ A crucial but often overlooked component when restoring the electric windscreen wiper installation on the M201.
Application
Specific to Hotchkiss M201 vehicles equipped with electric wiper motor (from 1955 onwards). The M201 has a unique system whereby the wiper switch on the dashboard makes contact via the windscreen-body connection.
Installation notes
The contacts are mounted between the windscreen frame and the body, usually beside the windscreen clamp. Ensure clean, unpainted mounting surfaces for good electrical conductivity. Test the wiper operation with the windscreen both upright and folded down.
Compatibility
Please note: this system is specific to the M201 with electric windscreen wipers. Willys MB and Ford GPW had standard vacuum-operated wipers and do not use this type of contact. Early M201s in 6V and later ones in 24V use similar contacts.
Historical context
The Hotchkiss M201 received electric windscreen wipers with central motor from the start of production in 1955, unlike the American Willys MB and Ford GPW which had vacuum-operated systems. The contact system via the windscreen was a French development that automatically switched off the wipers when the windscreen was folded down.
