Installation notes
The crashpad is mounted on the side panel at driver or passenger seat level. The metal backing plate is fixed to the body with screws, after which the canvas covering with padding is fitted to the inside of the plate. Note: the plate must be mounted over the body reinforcement profile (hat channel).
Compatibility
This concerns the left side. For a complete pair, the right side is also required. Canvas and padding are supplied separately and are not included with this steel backing plate.
Historical context
The crash pads or hip pads were a standard component of the WWII jeep, mounted on both sides of the body at seat level to provide passengers with some protection against the metal side panels during off-road use.
