Thanks Chris! Yes, picture of the adapter plate would certainly help!
Is the plate supposed to be screwed through these 4 holes on the top?

Yes. Those holes are used for the "ZA.10203 Plate, Seating" when mounting the variometer on top of the supply unit.

If you can't find the long clamping strap for the set and supply unit, it's probably best to get a complete strap of any length and replace the webbing portion with one of the required length. (The metalwork is probably difficult to make from scratch and the knurled nuts and 'T' bolt for the end is threaded 5/16 inch British Standard Cycle Thread! (You can get taps and dies for that on eBay but they are not particularly cheap.))

Best regards,
Chris

Had some spare time today, so here they are.
I must confess that instead of 5/16 thread I cut M8 - lazy bastard

So the easier part is done, now i will have to dig it out of a sheet.
Chris, the adapter plate should look somehow like this? I sniffed everywhere on the net and in my papers and found absolutely nothing about it. Unicorn item obviously.
