The main reason or interest that I have with the blue Ansul is the fact that they are correct for a circa 1970's Canadian mv....
Like to do things correctly, otherwise it'd be like putting a Canadian Tire extinguisher on your cmp or MB!!!! Anyhow, I can put this to rest as I have sourced what I need. Thanks for all the help.

Debate is important...that's how we learn. It is one thing trying to decide what color is correct now while these are still in service. Can you imagine someone trying to figure it out 50 years from now after everyone who has seen the original are long gone? Even photos don't always do justice to what was normal. Look at how many times a photo was staged for a photographer. Or some obscure piece of equipment has become the norm in the minds of current collectors based on one photo.

Agreed whole-heartedly Rob!
It is funny that you mention what becomes urban myth based on what experts say or from pics posed etc. Debate is a good thing. "Can you imagine someone trying to figure it out 50 years from now after everyone who has seen the original are long gone?" This is another reason I try to do accurate restoration work, carefully researched so that pics of my stuff taken now does'nt have inaccuracies which may be taken ad-liem in the future.

Rob, I ended up with the bracket for 98 cents... It the shipping and handling that adds up but for roughly $15 I figure its a steal for a brand new one!!!
