M3bobby,
I'm verry sorry to disappoint you but I live in NW suburbs of Chicago. Not too many WD/CO or C's cirrculating around here so I had to settle for a new Royal Enfield Military built in India. I'm a member of very large Polish WWII re-enactment club, 12. Pulk Ulanow (Chicago, wouldn't you know) who have 1 Birma truck '43 dated, 3 jeeps all war dated, and 3 Russian post war K750's, (R75 copies). Our group does a lot for PNA, Polish local community, and especially veterans such as AK members, ect. Poles being the craftsmen they are all of this equipment has been meticulously restored. However, we don't pamper our equipment, we run the hell out of it. If it breaks, they fix it. My contribution to the group has been my RE which I'm attempting to convert as much as possible to look like a WD issue. I know there are a multitude of discrepancies between the 2 so I'll do the best I can. Surprisingly, RE offers many items out of the box to make their bikes appear more vintage. So there you are. I sincerely thank you for the link as this guy offers many additional item that will work. I wish you the best of luck and highest regards,
