Hi All, I'm looking for a definitive answer to a question that I've had little luck in answering myself. Should a VEP GPW have a tank guard (The one welded to the back of the drivers seat) with the wood block or a long guard without the wood block?
Joes Motor Pool (JMP) in the UK have just released a long and short version of the guard, they say the short guard for use with the wood block is early and the long version without block is the later. I thought I'd read that the GPW didn't use the wood but the Willys MB did. I could do with some direction on this as my GPW seat requires a new guard and I'd like to get it correct first time. Thanks in advance.

Re: Drivers seat tank guard
My second of Aug 44 dod mb had the taller one without the wood it measures 3.5" the shorter one I read on here some were measures 3.25" is there nothing of your original left to check? Maybe some of the GPW experts will jump in?
