I would be grateful if you would clarify for me if these brass sockets are for all years of jeeps or just some years.The repro. ones commonly seen are black.Is black incorrect or is it a year, Willys / Ford thing?
Thanks
Philip
I dont know but we restored quite a few jeeps from around 1944. you can check with the jeep guru's out here. these are made of brass unlike the ones sold on ebay or wherever which are black.
happen to not find the ones when we were restoring our jeep india when my uncle decided to take apart one socket and make these from scratch.

Looks like a lot of demand for these so we started selling. i am his nephew and pass all the money to him in india (minus the shipping and paypal charges)

My parts arrived today, very fast shipping! Suffice to say these parts look excellent! The originals are indeed brass, they look black from age or possibly chemical treatment at the factory to enhance the camouflage aspect of the Jeep. I won’t install these for a few months but based on their appearance they should be fine. The originals that I removed from a '45 GPW tub are the four darker pieces. You can see the brass shining through the dull surface on one where it was scratched. The new ones are the shiny parts. Excellent work!

Hi Aasim and everyone

Received my set las week, the shipping was very fast.
I am very very happy with these sockets, they look perfectly like originals.
I will put the few I need to restore my tub currently under restoration as soon as I get it back.

regards
