Those old counteshaft tools were at the princess auto surplus quonset. When they were closing, you could fill a12 pack beer case for $10 or a 24 case for $20.
I still have one of those tools somewhere. I miss that place.

John, was the guy who ran their surplus Quonset as I recall.
Wonder whatever happened to his MV Reference Library upstairs in that place. His collection of Maintenance, Parts and Drivers Manuals was staggering. There was a pretty interesting yard across the street as well. David

I was too young to experience going through all the old buildings at Princess Auto but heard about all the treasures that used to be there.
I have a 1964 Princess Auto catalogue that lists some items I wouldn’t mind owning now for the price listed back then like a complete Bren gun carrier engine for $199.50!

And we’ve all heard of the famous Lee Enfield rifles for $12.95 and bayonets for $2.49 or how about a Webley flare pistol for your carriers for $9.95!

I went out to the shop today and took a few photo’s of the engine in the carrier.
In the bell housing casting shows C69A. The right head has a stamping C81T-6049, the left head is C81T-6050. The brass rebuild tag is self explanatory but shows a rebuild date of 1954 so must have been done close to being surplused as Dave’s dad bought it in the 1950’s.

The block heaters are both different. One is marked Carter Engineering, the other one blank. The distributor looks different from the ones I’m used to seeing. Is this one an upgraded model from the older aluminum one?

The ignition filter unit is LUCAS marked. I had a look in my original carrier toolbox and found a Ford marked filter one of the Prairie Command members gave me. I’ll use that one instead. I also have the spare coil Dave gave me. I hope it’s still good and can use it. I’m not sure how to test it to see if it’s still good? Will have to bug Rob Love one day to show me how.
