Jesse,

Does the A/B set box sit centered on the #22 carrier, with about 2" of channel on either end of the angle? I am just trying to clarify if the set is centered or offset to the left on the carrier.

Does anyone have a good photo of the #22 carrier?

Perry

Perry.

The Carriers No. 22 are actually an asymmetrical piece, which from the factory had the front face of them clearly identified, as per the attached photo of an NOS Basic Carriers No. 22 in my possession.

On the left side, the two main rails extend exactly 2.5 inches beyond the angle. On the right only 2.0 inches. My guess is that this was a critical clearance for many installations using this item.

Two versions of the Carriers No. 22 exist. The Basic like this one, and a second version (under a different 'PC Number') that could be ordered complete with the appropriate canvas hold down straps, cushions and Mounting Bridges. Cannot recall that PC Number at the moment.

Hope this helps.


David

It will be only one version, but every single component will have its own part number so that spares can be ordered as necessary, I think. (It's also possible that a "partial carrier" is included in some installation kits, e.g. for Universal Carrier, where you get a replacement Carrier No.2 and clamping strap No.3, but have to salvage the cushions, steel angle pieces and their screws, and the long clamping strap No.1 from the Carrier No.1 contained in the "Set and Standard Kit" (and return the unused parts to Stores).

(My recollection from reading far too many manuals while scanning them.)

Hello Chris.

You really need to upgrade your reading material. Most of these books don't end well, with the poor family members being torn apart and scattered across the globe!

Cheers for now,


David

Right now I'd settle for a couple of my family members being torn apart and scattered across the globe.

(Actually, just one inDUHvidual would do.)

The above is entirely in jest BTW.

Chris.

David/Chris,

Thanks gentlemen. Would anyone have a No. 22 carrier that they will part with? I am currently installing the 19 set in the Sexton.

I modified a different carrier to make the one I needed. It has to be just right as the radio compartment gets real tight. I was ready to fabricate one, but ended up finding one locally. Jesse.
