Default slow boat from Australia

Hi Kevin and other long suffering aerial base owners.

Yep..well..umm...errr....yep. there coming.

I have actually done something. I have had 10 sets cut out and they are in my shed as I type. further, I have spoken to friend of a friend who has a pan brake
to do the bending.

So, once there bent up all I need to do is oxy weld them up and install the rivets x4 to secure the arm to the base plate, ream the holes for the hinging points,play with them to make them work correctly, work out what they cost to make, hopefully not scare the hell out of those wishing to own one and send them to their new homes.

Sooooo..please hang in there, they are coming.

Kind Regards

Nigel

Hi Richard. Your on the list. At the rate this is going I may even sell them all.

Hay, do you think I have cornered the market for carrier aerial bases?

Default Yes please

Hello Nigel, I am stil;l definately interested in an aerial bracket assembly when the time comes. I now have the serrated brass base plate and the insulated centre bas, needing only the toothed outer mounting and the mounting base assembly to put it all back together like it should be !

Cheers

Phill
