Application
Mounted to the front and rear of WWII jeeps. According to SNL G-503 figures A and B, this reflector was fitted to the front mudguards (key L, figure A) and to the rear panels (key H, figure B). Used throughout the production of Willys MB and Ford GPW.
Installation notes
The reflector is mounted with screws to the body. Fixing hardware is supplied. Note: during WWII, different makes of reflector lenses were used (Grotelite, Stimsonite, Guide) — these are interchangeable for mounting but differ in appearance.
Compatibility
Fits Willys MB, Ford GPW and Hotchkiss M201. The round design was used throughout wartime production. Later in the war, oval reflectors by Guide also appeared; both types are originally correct.
Historical context
The reflector was a mandatory safety component according to military specifications and was produced by various suppliers. Corcoran Brown was one of the original manufacturers who supplied reflectors with Grotelite lenses to Willys-Overland and Ford for the production of the 1/4-ton 4×4 command reconnaissance truck.
