TL 13238 Strip-bearing clamp

[Lynn Eades]

Can someone please explain where it goes and what it does? The description in the parts book doesn't give much away. (not to me anyhow)

[Michael R.]

this flat post bearing strip for the rear antenna bracket did not acquire a CTL part number, unlike the front strip that can be found with TL/CTL 13239.

Bruce P., Jordan V. may have sufficient details to reproduce one.

I have an original on my carrier and can measure it up if you need it.

Hi Michael and Ross. Thank you both. I have thecranked piece of steel with that part number, but I wondered what the broken piece that bolts to the top was?
Mine is the broken the same as in Michael's above photo.

[Michael R.]

I am confused.
Lynn, nothing in the image is broken or missing.

Who said “narrative without images is boring”.

With regards your picture. From your arrow tip, climb up to the top bolt. On the opposite side, held in place by the two top bolts you will see a thin strip of steel. What was it? What was its function?
I see the battery cable holes had grommets.

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

Yes! The MK-I* C01UC rear protection plate is fitted with rubber grommets x2 when so equipped for wireless batteries. The distinction being those two holes were redundant and fitted with blanking plugs on C21UCM series hulls.
