If you post your location, the collective wisdom may be able to direct you or your brother towards another collector's completed restoration nearer to the workshop. Using the forum as a go-between may not be the most satisfactory way of getting some information.

As the fellows will tell you, there are few NOS parts for WWII CMPs in Canada. There are commercial equivalents, but the majority of the parts were shipped forward to support the war effort. Ironically, places like the Netherlands and Norway have better CMP resources than where they were built.
