hood deflector
Hello Lloyd
I am not sure on the hardware ( should be in the part manual). I believe the hood air deflector was used from 11/41 till mid Jan. 44.

Re: Hood Air Deflector and Hardware
Just saw this in an unrelated search and thought i`d ask.
Quite a few slat grill guys have said to me their hood deflectors have been fitted with a pan/binding head screw, not a round head screw. Several have been on unrestored vehicles.
Is this a known thing and i`ve missed it?(!) Is there a change over? I`ve seen lots of later 42 and 43 MB's with round head screws, and the GPW's fitted with a Willys hood using pan head screws.
Wondering what MB 131175 might have used, given it is not too far after the 'slat grill' phase.
Thanks, Ian.
