WS 19 in a Mk2 carrier

[Ron Pier]

The information I've seen points to the shorter instalation across the front of the carrier behind the bulkhead, in which case it would be a No22 carrier? Or did MK2's sometimes fit the longer instalation on the track guard?

I guess the No22 is the same as No21 but with the bit where the PSU sits, deleted? The PSU then sits on its side in two angle brackets and clamp down webbing.

The common carriers for 19 set.

Right, it’s the bracket this carrier sits on that I am querying, on the mk1* Carrier it bolts to the track guard then the water carrier sits on that.

If that makes any sense ?

[Ron Pier]

I've just checked, as so many projects since I fitted my wireless, I'd forgotten what I have.

I have a complete No22 carrier with the correct rubber feet, which are bolted to a 1/2" wooden board, which sits on the track guard and a wooden block on the hinged seat to bring it level.

I'd be interested to know what this board would have originaly been made of and how it was mounted. Ron

I'd be keen to know more about this. My Brit. AOP Mk IIIW has two lots of two holes just inside the hull side armour, that look like they would take the rubber mounts. I'd like to know more about how the other end of the No.22 base was fitted.

The C31UCW No.2 MK-II*, Canadian Ford welded hull MK-III, and assorted Marks of the two Windsor carrier models share examples of the Ford Canada factory development for installation of Wireless No. 19 Sets, chore horse, and portable (wireless) battery box stowage.

IIRC Doug Lavoie has a set of the mounting brackets?

Note: the last two images are Windsor carrier. You can identify that from a number of visual observations, the most noticeable being the channels running along the interior of the right hand upper protection plate. Compare that with the break-out bag stowage strap of the C31UCW No.2 Mark II*.

Those are nice helpfull pictures Ross. The first picture (like mine. No22 carrier) Just has a simple flat plate at each end which I assume are bolted down somehow.

Interestingly, two of the pictures show the junction box that Kevin has.....Maybe I should get one? Ron

[RichardT10829]

I wondered about that box Ron, scratching my head as to its use ?


The pictures have answered my query perfectly Michael, the 21 / 22 carrier bolts straight to the track guard and seat base, unlike the mk1* which has additional bracketry

All interesting stuff, I am looking forward to having a fully working period intercom in my current carrier....I have no doubt the sound quality wil be terrible though

[tankbarrell]

The 19 set intercom is fairly good but you have to keep the mic rubber piece touching your mouth and speak clearly!

Richard, it simply connects the power supply leads to the two leads from the battery. Ron

[RichardT10829]

Ah, Rodger that.... I have a lead into the psi with bulldog type clips on the other end ��

The mount shown in pictures 3 and 4 is a WS-29 set mount as shown in "Installation Instructions Wireless Set No. 29 kits installation AFV Ns. 101,0102 and 104".
