That looks like a good reproduction bracket. The only large issue I see is the two 3/4" holes are missing. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not but here is the information on the A-4133 bracket ... |

On this thread I post the two most likely bolt configurations, one for the earlier MB tub with the square gusset and the other for the composite body MB with the oval hole gusset.

You know the early WWII jeep had different spring rates for the front set and I'm sure the engineers at Willys Overland knew of the jeep leaning.

Have you all looked at the most likely locations on your hood, body and bumperettes to see if the original USMC numbers are there, or are we taking this from Army to USMC? |

I did say I thought is would be more economical to go with the 5.38.  |
