Aerial mast base

[nigel ward]

Hi All

Please find photos attached of the first aerial base folded and welded.

There are a couple of small issues to be ironed out but all in all I am happy with the result.

In the production run I will include the 4 rivets holding the handle to the top plate and the welding will be oxy and not tig. A couple of minor adjustments with the laser cutting of the sections and all will be in order.

On a sadder note, I am unable to work on the project for a couple of months as this Thursday I fly to Istanbul to start a driving holiday that will see me at the 65th D-day events. If any of you are attending the D-day events, please call in on our camp. Just ask for the mob of Australian ww2 vehicles camping with the MVT group. I'm driving a chev (blitz) cmp 4 x2 with 2 tone camo.

I will be back home on the 24th of June and will kick off again once back.
Sorry for this but I promise to confirm prices and availability once back.

Kind Regards
Nigel

Nigel,

I guess that I may have picked up on this thread too late. I am interested in a repro WS11 aerial base to fit a MkI Humber LRC. I don't need the carrier mounting just the No2 Base complete with spring tensioner etc.
Apologies if I am covering old ground, but I seem to be unable to view any of the attached thumbnails.

Regards,

Les.
