19-Set Vario/Aerial Base Mounting Plate

[David Dunlop]

Can anyone provide a correct ID for this mounting plate?

I have seen it, or something very similar, in use on a 19-Set installed in an MB/GPW, and it also looks like something used in the 19-Set Installation in a Mk I Carrier.

I am trying to wrap my head around how it is fastened to the top of the 19-Set Transceiver Case. If it used one or both of the PSU mounting plates on the left top of the case, does that mean the right hand end of the mounting plate is free floating?

Also, in an exposited environment like the two vehicles mentioned, it would make sense for the canvas variometer cover to be used, which would be a simple enough installation. However, in an exposed environment, it would also make sense to have the Canvas Cover for the wireless set itself also installed, but can that be done with this mount sitting on top of it?

Lastly, if we can get a proper ID for this mounting Plate, can Hanno go in and correct the title of this thread to match?

Thanks,

David
