A few pics of pintle hook mounts I have seen.
The first two are similar to the ones in Phil's pic of a 1941 C60L.
The side brackets are bent plate that bolt to the side chassis rails and to a cross member. There are 4 bolts in a square pattern each side. The next pic is fitted to a C15A and the brackets fit snugly inside the chassis rails, much as in Max's pic, and also Grant and Bob's pic. - I will check again whether this pair are cast or fabricated. There are 4 bolts each side in a tapered trapezoid shape each side. (Note this chassis has extensions welded to the ends) The last set are fitted to a Marmon Herrington (and seen on the Irish CDSW Morris) with 4 bolts to each bracket to the rear cross member. Rod's pics clearly show the under slung hook brackets. these have 3 bolts in a horizontal line on each side. Now from all this, I see that the chassis rails require different bolt patterns, so it makes me think that these brackets are model specific and early /late production versions as related in the posts above. I have not pictured the C8AX pintle which has a fabricated frame underslung below the chassis, and the hook is mounted to a plate on a shaft with a coil spring. This seems to be a NZ designed fitting, perhaps based on US practice? GMC and CMP vehicles were coming into the country at this time. The C8AX has a much lighter frame than the GMC, though the coil spring, collars and shaft have similar dimensions, but the spring is round section vs square section on the GMC.

So, will the next question be about the spring packs?

I was given a pintle today that I thought was CMP but reading a lot of pintle threads it would appear it is not blitz but carrier.
The ends of the handles are flattened . Did any CMP have the flattened handle version of pintle? Ken

I took a look around the museum to see if I could find any flattened ends on the handles, but could find none. There is one exception...we have a limber on display at the main museum with flattened ends, which we noticed a few months ago. The limber is British built, but when I check our other British built Limber it has the normal hitch with rounded handles.
