Hi,

Okay.... your set is upside down in the case. (The narrow part of the keyhole
slots should be at the bottom, and there are two attachment plates on the top
of the case at the left hand side (for various different installations).)

Carriers.

There are three "standard" varieties from WW2, they were renumbered later.

Carrier, Set. No.1 ZA.3102 - welded steel channel for permanent fitting
to vehicles. This is the standard AFV/truck/jeep mount and fairly common.
The power supply is mounted on the left of the set, and the variometer
fitted where suitable (top or side of of the supply unit, or a "through the
side/turret roof" mounting for AFVs.

Carrier, Set, No.2 ZA.3103 - shorter steel channel mount for set only in
limited space situations. The supply unit goes either on its side on top of
the set (Universal Carrier) or elsewhere in the vehicle (Sexton SPG, I think).

Carrier, Set, No.3 ZA.10315 - wooden board "Truck & Ground Station"
mounting for a complete station (Control Unit No.3, Variometer, Supply
Unit, and set).

Carriers 1&2 are bolted down using the rubber "bridge" shock absorbers, and
are permanently fitted to the vehicle.

Carrier No.3 clips in to the "Mountings, Carrier" (one at each end) and
the screw is tightened to hold the clips in place - the mounting includes
the shock absorbers (2 per mount) and is permanently bolted down.

I only have Carrier No.1, I'm after No 2 and No.3.

Best,
Chris.

Pics of the end of Carrier No.1 attached (I hope). The steel angle brackets
can be removed to replace the straps, and the holes line up with the
tapped holes in the set top so they can also be used to fit the supply unit
on that if you're using Casrrier No.2. The holes in the end of the channel
are for the single bolt on the shock absorber. C1b shows it with the angle
plates removed.
