We did talk about these before. I have them on my carrier. They work great.

Will look into that link thanks.

I have a carrier 25 which is very close to carrier 21 but I would rather not cut it up if I can avoid it.

Anyone got the dimensions for the carrier 21 ?

I have some extruded right angle correct size, so could cut it down to make the ends, and have some spare sheet steel from the carrier base plate so could knock a repro 21 out fairly easy

Anyone able to help ?

Carrier 25 is nothing like Carrier 21 (or Carrier No.1, which is the same thing before the renumbering).

Anyway, you need Carrier No.2 (or 22), which takes the set only and is much shorter. The Supply Unit fits on top of the set (on its side), and you need a longer "short strap" for that because of the keyhole slot positions and width/height of the supply unit.

Someone posted photographs of a substantially correct setup.

Chris.

Sorry Chris got my numbers mixed up.

I am aware the psu sits on top of the base unit.

Here is the carrier that I have.

That's a No.25, and is for set and supply unit "side by side" with a very long strap that goes around the whole lot, starting at the side of the supply unit, going under the carrier, up, around and across the top of the set, and locking into a keyhole adapter plate that attaches to the top of the supply unit with four screws. (The plate is required because the keyhole slots on the top of the supply unit point the wrong way in this configuration.)

On which note: Does anyone have the adapter plate for this setup?

Regards,

Chris.

Jordan has photographs of the correct setup in Post #7 in this thread.

Ok.. So I either chop and modify this carrier, or trade it ?
