inner windshield identification

Post by lweinlan » Tue Sep 27, 2022 11:24 am

Hello,

I would like to identify the inner windshield that is mounted on my GPW 1943. The outer windshield is marked "WILLYS", so it is a post-war outer windshield. It looks like it is an early CJ2 (?) outer windshield since the adjusting arms are the same as for an MB and it has a central handle.
The inner frame has a manual tandem windshield wipers system. The glass panels are marked as seen below.
I am wondering if the inner frame and the glass panels are WW2 vintage ?

Thank you.

I am thinking the only diff between cj2a and mb, other than handle, is the way the arm brackets are mounted on the inner. I will have to look when i get home if nobody answers,

That looks correct to me. Those brackets for the swing arms are right 'triangular' shape.

Could you please let me know if you meant that the inner frame is WW2 vintage ?

Yes, the inner frame is correct for the MB/GPW.
