Fits CJ-2A (1946-1949), CJ-3A (1949-1953), CJ-3B (1953-1964), M38 (1950-1952) and Hotchkiss M201 vehicles with transfer case-mounted handbrake (D18 transfer case). Also suitable for later CJ-5 models with the same handbrake system.

Installation notes

The set contains one left-hand thread (A10331) and one right-hand thread (A10332) adjuster screw — both are required per vehicle. The star adjusters are fitted to the handbrake bracket attached to the rear of the transfer case. Ensure the shoes can move freely before adjustment.

Compatibility

ONLY for vehicles with transfer case-mounted handbrake (external drum on rear of transfer case). NOT suitable for vehicles with internal handbrake or later models with disc brakes. Check that your vehicle has a D18 transfer case with external handbrake unit.

Historical context

The transfer case-mounted handbrake was standard on military and early civilian jeeps from 1943 until the mid-1960s. This system operated independently of the wheel brakes and provided reliable parking brake functionality.
