WS No. 52 Aerial Base C2
Good to know all the extra bits are still with your mounting assembly, Chris.
The big cork gasket on the Aerial Base C2 mount is shown in the exploded diagram in the manual, complete with its CMC Part Number but does not show up anywhere else in any of the documentation. Maybe the assumption was it was a "set and forget" item that never needed replacing once installed.
I got the 6-inch centre cutout finished on mine this morning. All that is left on the Aerial Base C2 now is to strip the remains of the NATO Green from the upper and lower metal bits on the top section and redo them in SCC-2, or No. 2 Brown if one prefers. Finding a small rattle can of model SCC-2 would be a perfect amount. Must remember to check my Edmonton hobby store to see what they might have in stock.
The rubber flex section of my Aerial Base has a slight curve in it that I an hoping will slowly recover out of it. The poor thing spent about 10 years mounted on the back of a Dodge Command Car pretending to be a US Army Signal Corp aerial mount with the whip arced over the vehicle and lashed down somewhere at the front.
