Canadian Ferrets

That number is not a Cdn CFR...all the Cdn ferrets were in the 82XXX range.

The American style lights were never an official mod on the Cdn ferrets.....it was just a matter of fitting on what was handy. Often the lamps were mounted on the original ferret lamp brackets, although it should be noted there was a modification instruction to relocate the original lamps to a higher position.

The US style of 60 amp generator was an approved Cdn modification, and the regulator was removed when these were installed.

I believe the Cdn contract ran over the mk1 rectangular windows to the mk1/2 odd shaped windows.

The civilian turn signal arm was common on all the Cdn vehicles back then, including the ferrets. Common were the doray and the signal stat models.

The numbers stamped on the various plates are likely the part numbers for each individual plate of metal.

I have seen the odd Cdn ferret without the CFR stamped in front of the horn bracket, but the vast majority have them.

Of course, this thread is useless without pictures.
