Default Yep, Yep and thanks

Yep Jordon. no problems. Mail it down.

Thanks Shaun. Your on the list.

Richard. You gave me an idea. I wonder if it is best that I tack weld the bits into the correct positions and let those who buy finish the welding to their..........standard. If the new owner chooses tig, mig stick or oxy that's up to them.

Show of hands please.

Hi Phill. We have to talk. 0418 795 022 I'll ring you straight back.

AND

I am grateful to have acquired a pogo stick from a follow carrier nutter (it's ok ,he called me a "bird" once). I have priced the bren attachment to be cast and done some of the sums for the rest including the spring. In truth, I've brought the pipe already. That was a good way to spend money I thought the steel man meant per length but it turned out to be per metre.

So, they look like being somewhere around $200+ Aussie dollars each.That's about the same in US dollars at the moment.

Any interest?

Oh and I'm making Sheppard crooks as well. $200 Aussie each. Blacksmith made with old 1 inch bar from a scrap yard. got that old look about it. 3 in England and 2 in France already. I think about $100 Aussie to post.

Thanks
N

Default base

I need one of those toothed bases for my FFW 8 cwt Morris PU truck.

I have detailed pics of the antenna mount/base setup with the No. 11 set.

Put me down for a base .....I dont need the carrier mount , just the base itself.

Maybe Rory in the UK would need one as well ?

I have the 7/8" rods from the golf bag mast kit .. these are 3ft sections from memory... they fit the "ebonite B" base.

Mike

I'm with Mike Kelly. I would also like the base only without the carrier bracket for my Morris. Any chance? If so, I'll ask Rory and probably order two.

Thanks Nigel, I'll get the arm mailed early next week.

I'd perfer the welding/riveting to be done on the one I get. All that I'd like to do is bolt it together and then bolt it onto the carrier.

I'd also be interested in one of the shepards crooks to go on the front of my carrier.

Lynn, Thanks for the info, You couldnt put together a quick sketch with measurements of that bottom attachment, thread size, length etc. Also what the diameter of the spring please, looks similar to a 3 inch mortar recoil spring.

Thanks again kev.
