Hi Jordan,

Im likely miles off here, but thought it worth adding.

On a jeep, Ford GPW's initially used the bullet type and Willys the terminal with a screw. I think Ford swapped to the scrw in type about mid war/later in production. I know we are talking CMP's and a Chev, but wondered if it might help knowing what Ford USA was using at a similar time?

Hope this helps (if it can!).

Im surprised these dont turn up NOS for the CMP like they can be found for the jeep, that would help- maybe they are in Argentina on their way back to the UK!

Cheers,
Ian.

Found them from Mac's Antique Auto parts. Exactly the kind I was looking for. Picked up two yesterday.
