I found that solenoid. Your a little far away to swing by and get it! Pm me your address and I'll drop it in the mail.

One last add-on that I just finished (sorry it's not a video of jakes operating)
The reservoir tank lost its support bracket when the lift hook got removed for clearance so I finally got a new bracket made up to take its place. The new bracket is a slimmer, ambidextrous, 10 gauge version of the lift hook but with the flanges bent the opposite directions. I still need another 1/2" nut and that bolt really should be 1/4" shorter, but it's good for the interim.

Finally got a short video of the jake brakes in action on both LO and HI. This was in 5th gear between 40-45 mph.

I mentioned the hood clearance as there was an 800- series in a local guard unit with a little box welded to the hood to allow fit.
Cheesy looking...

The Canadian M809s had a "hood scoop" to clear their jake heads which is probably similar to the little box you're talking about:

That is a lot prettier than the one I saw...
