TL 13238 Strip-bearing clamp

That thin metal curves at 90° and is part of the antenna rod holder. There is nothing broken.

The bar that the red arrow points to a few posts ago is actually the top of the angle iron that holds the armour panel on the top RH side of the engine cover to the rear plate. The bearing strip fastens to this with two CS head screws coming in the from the rear.

Do the Mk2* carriers have this bracket ? I cannot recall now ?

[rob love]

No, by the time the mk2 came into production, the no11 radio was replaced by the WS19. Those brackets were for the WS11 antennas.

1944 built Mk.1* carriers still came with 11 set bases and those aerial brackets. I guess a contract was a contract.

Well they did quit installing the Bren magazine loading tool by then, so it was not a totally non-responsive system.

MK-II* have different style wireless antenna holders.
The holders are also installed in the same location on the MK-I*/MK-II updated carriers.
