Hi Lynn, so one hole is 12mm in from the side to the outside edge of the hole. but how far up from the bottom?,are you measuring from an original?, I am not knocking the rivets out but just offering it up to the mortar carrier, i will clamp to another standard stowage carrier to act as a jig to centre the other three holes as suggested.
many thanks kev.

Yes, mine is original...
 This is expensive information. (did I just feel the price drop on my pipes then?....I hope it wasn't my imagination)  Note to moderators; We need a blackmail smilie.  Anyhow, NMBS. The bottom hole centers are about 17mm up from the lower edge. As a check, the top hole centers are about 1/2" (12.5mm) from the center of the bend (which is a bit hard to pick) Cheers, Lynn.

Aerial Fitted
Hi, I managed yesterday to fit one on Nigels aerials, looks good and it even tilts and latches, just got to find some suitable rubber for the bump stop. Well done Nigel and thanks for the time and effort on reproducing these.

sorry
Hi Kevin
Thanks for posting the photos. Glad to see one up and running. Sorry to all about the stuff up with the holes.  I only just saw Kevin's comments about the incorrect hole positions for mounting to the hull. I think June was a little busy for me so the MLU forum didn't get a look in.I have looked at the photo's I posted at the start of this thread and you can see the issue where the repro and the original are side by side. Kevin is correct. Sorry again guys Nigel

Hi
I'm looking for an aerial mount the same style as Nigel had made. If any of you have one of Nigels that you no longer need or an original that you're prepared to sell I'd be pleased to hear from you. I'm planning on having a small run of 10 of the original type tension springs professionaly made via work, if you're interested send me a pm. If you have any parts or fittings available for this style of mount and WS11 fit please let me know. Thanks Ben

Not carrier related I know but on the same theme. I bought one of Nigel's toothed bottom parts and then proceeded with my facsimile MK1 base for my Morris WS No11. The mushroom top is slightly different as I just used a ground station part. But I'm pleased with the result. Thanks for getting me started Nigel. Ron
