The carrier used the heavier cable. The cmps had a lighter cable. I believe the chain rings and D rings were also smaller for the CMP.
Ribtors (now closed) in Calgary had a pallet of the chainends for the carriers, although there were a few smaller ones in the mix. They also had a pile of the D rings form that era, again a bit smaller than the ones on my carrier cables. And they had lots and lots of the smaller diameter tow cables. Same length as the carrier, but smaller diameter.
My carrier cables came from Brian Asbury. Pretty sure he would have had the part number on some of the examples.



I have picked up some of the hooks in the strangest of places. Besides the surplus yard, I have found them at farm auctions and garage sales. But they are one of those items you can never find enough of.
