Sadly I don't know the length of the #3 fixing strap. However it would be longer then the #2 fixing strap (10.5") but not as long as the really long ones. Does that make sense
Or if you don't have any, I would gladly take one of the long ones. Jordan

Hose spouts
Dean, could you post a pic of the flexi spouts for all of us to share please?
It will help those of us at the furtherest ends of the earth to see what we should be looking for! cheers Rob

The single item of its type, in the center of the first photo, is a Number 19 Wireless Set mount for a Variometer. The rings with six holes are usually made of wood but I've heard there was also a rubber pattern. It is used as an insulator for the cone shaped aerial mount which is used for the Number 19 Wireless A-Set. The B-Set aerial mount is usually about 4" tall and 1.5" diameter rubber and the aerial itself is about 2.5' long being for short range formation transmissions. The rubber part would mount onto a short pipe looking thing. Don't you just love technical jargon
 Looks like the short and long straps are the lengths used for power supply and transceiver to each fasten down to the mounting plates when side by side. The middle size strap used for the PS/U to attach to the top of the transceiver has thus far also eluded me. I built one following a tip from another forum member, by lengthening a spare short strap. So there are at least three of us needing the medium size for our wireless sets.

HI David
What did you use to lengthen the short strap. I was thinking some kind of tow strap material would work?

Hey Jordan,
I used a piece of material from a ratchet type tie down strap which was roughly 3" wide and a close match in size to the normal WWII straps. Since the originals are pretty tough, I hammer riveted the straps together as it would have been difficult to sew and won't be visible. Just make sure the two places you have to join up are past the metal angle brackets that hold the PS/U and then they won't be in the way of anything.

I'm posting another one for Dean. This looks too small for a horse cock, maybe a donkey dink? but it does look like it'd be a spout for the cans.
