Indeed Michael! Thank you for pointing this out. I didn't check the parts list but obtained the part number from another thread.

Shaun, I will need the CTL 929 SA then. Less part so cheaper too.

Vane. As in "Vane, Sighting, one each, for the use of".

It allows the driver to sight the carrier on a distant object and steer in that direction. Cross country stuff, of course, so as not to get off course. It assists with maintaining a more or less direct route. Never hurts good to have the front armour pointed in the direction of the threat. The early Universal production at Ford-Windsor in Canada did not have this tool. It was introduced at serial # 4693 on 15 February, 1943. A modification bulletin M-1 speaks to the change and procedure to remove two of the three steering box rivets and attach the vane with two 5/16" x 3/4" bolts, nuts and lockwashers.

Michael R., Shaun has carriers coursing though his veins, so trying to correct his spelling of the sighting vane might be in vain
