Cheers.

I still have the hinge plates in place on my track guard so will make a pucker tray. I have the side by side carrier but will end up making a 22 like yours Ron I have the long 12 pin cable that joins the two junction boxes up, just need the short one that goes from the base unit to the no.2 control box.

I like the canvas covers you have on your cables mind Ron, look really good

Gents may I ask you for any details (pics/height) of that (rubber I guess) mounting under the aerial base as on the pictures (thank you Ron). Part is on the position 26. Many thanks!

Helo Petr, I have spare one I think. Do you have any Carrier parts you could swap?

Regards,

Tom

The spacer was made in a variety of materials, presumably down to what was available at the time/place of manufacture.

British ones are/were made of rubber (I've seen white, brown and black examples).

Canadian ones were made of plywood, with cork gaskets glued to top and bottom in order to keep water out.

Post-WW2 (possibly later WW2) British ones were made from steel stampings, as two shallow dishes welded together along the seam, and rubber gaskets were used (which continued into the Larkspur era with a variety of bases).

Best regards,
Chris.

Thank you all for the detailed info! So it looks that I will need rubber one for the British carrier.
Is it made just from the plain rubber or reinforced rubber, please? Any pics?
