Application
For open cab versions of 4x4 and 6x6 military lorries from WWII. Open cab configurations were introduced from 1942-1944 to save material and reduce shipping volume. The inner frame holds the windscreen glass and is hinged-mounted within the larger outer frame.
Installation notes
The inner frame is mounted within the outer windscreen frame with hinges at the top. Glass is secured with rubber seals in the U-shaped channel of the frame. Check that all mounting points and hinges are in good condition before fitting.
Compatibility
Please note: this is the inner frame for open cab versions. Closed cab vehicles (early production 1941-1942) had a different windscreen configuration with fixed mounting. The inner frame is common to various open cab lorries from the same period, but the outer frame differs per vehicle type.
Historical context
During WWII, the open cab configuration was introduced to save steel and simplify shipping. The canvas top could be removed to reduce shipping height. The windscreen construction with inner and outer frame allowed the screen to be folded forward or removed for field maintenance.
