Thanks Chris, thats very useful discussion.
You can be right about the sketch, true is that we still dont have any drawing with the carrier and WS mounted in the UC.
Regarding the folding seat - there is a welded plate coming from the engine cover which supports seat in down position, you can even bolt seat to it (mine is missing hole in it, but should be there - now I believe to know why is this that hole there for - no such hole on the gunners side). So I believe that it could be very rigid and sturdy support.
Im obviously missing something WS carrier is locked in on the outer edge of the seat.

Default Rear seat

This is the way my rear seat is set up for the mounting of the radio. There is a Dzus fixing in the corner. Hope this helps.

Just finished shock absorbers underneath the carrier. I made them from a similar shape shock absorbers which were available over here. They are about 8mm higher than originals but I can live with it I guess.

OK, so after a while Im back with my WS19 project. Chris, have you had a chance to make couple of pics of your No.25 carrier, please? It would help me a lot because there is still a lot of unclear things to me. Many thanks in advance!
