Canadian content on the Iltis also included the choke and throttle cables. I met an LCMM once who related the story that he met a guy at some function who's company made these cables. Bombardier promised that if the company ever sold cables directly to DND rather than through Bombardier, that Bombardier would never buy another cable from them again.

I believe there was also some debate between DND and Bombardier as to who owned the drawings for the parts. In the end, the DND name was on the bottom corner of the drawings, so we were able to source parts from alternate suppliers.
