Application
Suitable for WWII ¼-ton cargo trailers: Bantam T3 (1942-1945), Willys MBT (1942-1945) and early M100 models. Used in pairs to connect safety chains between trailer and pintle hook of the towing vehicle.
Installation notes
The safety hooks are fitted to the ends of the safety chains. Hook the safety chains crosswise under the tow coupling to the towing vehicle for maximum safety. Check for wear and cracks before each use.
Compatibility
Different versions existed during WWII: early war flat hooks (flat stamped) and late war fat hooks (cast). From the M100 and M416 onwards, longer safety chains with larger hooks were used. Pay attention to the correct type for authenticity.
