Petr.
Your choice of 2 mm sheet was a good one. The originals are just a little too thin and the burled nut is easily overtightened causing the plate to flatten directly underneath it and the sheet metal torn open right back through the hole, rendering the plate useless. Nice work as usual, by the way! David

Beautifull work Petr.
Could you post some pictures and description of how you made the parts, (and also of your other great work). I'm sure many of us would like to try some of your methods. Regards George

Thank you all!
I have no pics from the process, but it was pretty straightforward. I made simple forming fixture from the thicker sheet and otherwise I used couple of hammers and vice. And of course lathe and drill. And thats it.

No 19 WS in MKII Universal Carrier
Reviving an old thread . This might help Petr or someone else . I discovered recently that a No 25 carrier for the No 19 set fits perfectly over the rear seat of the Carrier . I made a wood mock up of the metal plate that goes over the seat for fitting . I installed No 1 mountings as on wireless truck table and voilà ! Perfect fit with the variometer , antenna base and control box on top . The No 25 carrier is in wartime colour .I am drawing from my own military experience and it seems that if the Carrier was used to carry around a FOO ( Artillery Forward Observer ) or a FAC ( Forward Air Controler ) he would like to be able to dismount the radio quickly in a forward position in order to call in supporting fires while the driver hides away the vehicle. Kinda like we used the PRC -25 / 77 to do that . Now , that is more recent tactics that i have witnessed , i don’t know if it applies to WW2 . Anyway , now i wil’ be concentrating on connecting the power cable to the batteries that are stored in the compartment next to the driver’s right elbow and powering it up eventualy .

No 19 set mounted in a MKII Carrier
Here is the final result . WS set No 19 connected to power , working in my MkII Universal Carrier . Now that i know everything i need to make a steel plate for the setup to replace the wooden mock up base i used . Chris once said the steel plate is also used to house the Chorehorse generator ( used to charge the wireless batteries ) on the tool box in the rear compartment . Anyone with a picture ? Cheers . Bob

MkII Carrier with No 19
Yes Petr , what a great coincidence ! We had the same idea on both sides of the Atlantic ! Here we have a MkII with the A set antenna right behind the division plate behind the driver . To me that suggests Petr’s and my setup ate correct wartime installations . Of course , further research is advisable . Cheers ! Bob
