Rob,
I did buy an adapter that you described some time ago, in case you only had the one, save you time searching.

Dear Gord,

maybe you could post a picture of what you have then?

Hi Robin,

I borrowed it to a fellow who was trying to start his Bedford, will take a picture of it when I get it back.

Bedfords bump start in forward or reverse very easily, doesn't take much to do if you are familiar doing it.

Look forward to the picture, from someone.

It was in the first parts bin that I looked in.

That is brilliant isnt it.

I have seen the right hand end before on a slave cable that had both ends the same but never the left end. That looks like it had a cover once.

Well, that is grand.

I will send you an email Rob.

Both ends had covers once, but no doubt after dangling around during use, and getting caught everywhere, they were disposed of.

In answer to your very first post, the normal slave cables of the period were the 2 pin style. The single pin only came into Cdn use sometime in the early to mid 80s. Somewhere I have the data plate with NSN off the newer single pin (these also dangled off the cable and were soon torn off). With that I can determine the time period they were introduced into US service.

I got my first single pin set of cables courtesy of some militiamen who were unloading jeeps from the backs of deuces at our loading dock, pulled away and left the "B" class cables laying on the dock.
