I thought of an oil filter too for a quick & easy reproduction but all oil filters now have the flat spots on the end so it doesn’t look right. The 3-D printed plastic ones I have don’t look right either but it takes me 3 or 4 attempts at all my projects until I’m fairly happy with them.
Those replica smoke generators you have Tim are spot on. Just not sure of importing them into Canada. Will have to do some checking once I have more information.

I suspect if they are unpainted or certainly unmarked, the correct colour is Light Brunswick Green, they should be possible to ship. They are only a piece of plastic. The Mk 4 generator, which is the correct type for the discharger, did not have the wires for electrical ignition either so they would look even more innocuous.

Everyone that knows me knows that I’m always saving stuff that gets thrown away. Picking out old garage door rubber weatherstripping out of the garbage barrel paid off for me today when it was time to make all my rubber straps for my carrier. It helped to have some original straps on the carrier I got from Dave. I could do an exact copy. This project was relaxing!
