Lots more mods...I'll see if I can remember some of them.
There was a mod to replace theorigional heater hose T with one that didn't burst
There was a mod or an instruction to change some of the vacuum/ventilation system to prevent the buildup of vapours so the aircleaner would quit catching fire.
There was a mod/instruction to install a larger alternator if needed.
There was a mod to put shorter bolts on the floorplates over the batteries so they wouldn't short out.
There was a mod to install grease nipples for the trunnions.
There was a mod to install a second set of rubber guards around all the wheel stations.
There was a mod/instruction to remove a small bridge on the alternator which allowed current to bypass the master switch.
There was the capacitor mod (it prevented the voltage spike which burnt out the headlamps)
There was a battery cable mod to replace the factory ends with the standard military pattern, and lengthen the center one
There was the fuel filter mod which replaced the origional inline filter
There was a mod to relocate the stud on the air intake area. This stud held the strap for the clutch housing breather, which was catching fire leaning against the capacitor mod
There was a mod to make a little bracket which kept the master key in it's bracket so it would still turn but could not be removed.
There was an instruction telling you to throw out the blue explosafe balls out of the tank.
I believe it was a mod to install the mod data plate.
It was a mod or a special instruction to add the window screening to the air intake horn so the air cleaner wouldn't fill up with sticks and leaves
There was a special instruction to retorque the rear springs
As part of the life extension project there were the hinge replacements for the rear seats
Also part of the life extension was the installation of plastic battery trays under the batteries. (likely all thrown out later)
Also part of the life extension was to make the adjusting slot longer on the alt adj arm.
Regarding the suppressed wires, I believe this was simply a change of suppliers. They went to the more familiar M-series style wires instead of the thinner Iltis type.
The only mod I recall for the trailers was the welding of the little angle brackets allowing the ILtis jack to be used on them.
Unofficial mod: here in Manitoba/Sask, you ripped off those little defroster doors, cause you needed way more heat than they allowed out.
Thats about all the Iltis thinking I want to do right now. I hated those things.
