Thanks Jordan (and Mike); interesting. Pity the drawings are that dark, but it does show that the round hole in the corner of the cab rear wall of my C8 was most likely for a clamp holding the exhaust tube.

And inside the box..... a fantastic un modified Cnd Chorehorse. With a complete tool kit still in the cosmoline.
I completely missed this find! Well done Jordan.....and even the version with that elusive hinging cover! (not jealous at all)

Incredible find Jordan!

Alex dragged me all the way to Belgium to chase one of these with the hinged cover. It turned out to be a wild goose chase, alas. (I'm sure Alex will share the pics and story one day )

An expert on the Iron horse could be referred to as a Ferro-equinologist.

The proper plug is a vintage style Champion J8, with a screw top and blackened parts. In fact, there are a couple on ebay in Canada right now. I just bought one that's NOS for my spares box. It's exactly like the plug in Jordan's photos above.

To add a bit more to this discussion. I just took delivery of this repair kit box. Nicely marked for the Canadian CH1-395-4 model.
