NO1 Aerial base.

Thanks for your response Mike and Lynn.
Mike I have no idea yet about foundry costs. Judging by stuff I had done years ago, I would hazard a guess at £60-£70 each. But hopefully I will phone someone today. There can't be many of us who need this actual truck base? Me, you and Rory.......Anyone else? What we need is a better picture Mike.
Of course the casting can be machined into a copy of the carrier item, but Kevin should be able to care of them. Ron

Here are pictures of the insulator as promised

Thanks Lyn. A much shallower dome than the one I am going to use. Ron

I've got the same type of insulator that Lynn has . It's part of the ground base setup. The brass cup sits on a spike, you push it into the ground .

Is yours the ground base Lynn ?

I think this is the truck mount. I got this pic off Bruce Parker some time ago. He likely still has it.

Does Bruce own that mount , or is it just the pic he has ?

Would like to get drawings .... Is Bruce still about ?

Mike I have all of the Carrier mount, but only have the bare insulator of the smaller one (in my pictures) I suspect it was also used on carriers, and that the toothed base is interchangeable between both size insulators (5/8 and 7/8" aerials)
David the one in your picture is the one fitted to carriers.
You will see there are two sets of holes on the carrier mount. The brass toothed mount fits the smaller set of holes, and is the same as yours.
Maybe some one can explain the use of the larger hole set?

Mike, Bruce has the mount and he's still around somewhere.
