Dear Richard and Rob,

Thank you both for your answers, that all makes perfect sense doesn't it? I knew there had to be a provision for this situation and putting the post up has shaken the tree of knowledge and voila the information is in the open.

Brilliant, exactly what this and other forums are for.

Rob, you know that trade we are doing? If you can find the adapter in your shed then I would take it for my Canadian Ferret and that would close the trade nicely.

We have the adapters that Richard is talking about in Canadian service. The problem was they were continually going missing. There are very few of the old 2 pin receptacles around any more in service. The exception is the MLVW. When I was still in the service, I permanently installed the two pin adapter into the receptacle of my MLVW and also installed the plastic protective cap. Saved always hunting for the adapter.

As far as I know, everything else is over to the single pin style. However, in my job at the local museum, we are now seeing the generation of single pin vehicles showing up as artifacts, so once again the search continues for the adapters.

Robin: I'll have a look today. I think I know roughly which container the adapter is in. I'll post a photo of it before sending it off and post it in this thread for posterity.

Rob,
I did buy an adapter that you described some time ago, in case you only had the one, save you time searching.

Dear Gord,

maybe you could post a picture of what you have then?

Hi Robin,

I borrowed it to a fellow who was trying to start his Bedford, will take a picture of it when I get it back.

Bedfords bump start in forward or reverse very easily, doesn't take much to do if you are familiar doing it.

Look forward to the picture, from someone.
