Jordan,
Nice find.I have the control box and #19 set in my carrier and wondered how the boxes held up in the weather.That would make sense to have covers for them.The more I read these discussions,the more items I need to find for my carrier! Nice to see pictures of what I need,the fun is in the hunt,the pain is trying to find the money to pay for it!
Derk.

Default Update

I think it is time to give an update on the progress of the aerial bases.

As I am currently running about 6 months behind doing what I promised to do I should apologize first

Okay, I have returned the original to the owner but have made the changes to the cad drawings at the laser cutters. I am now happy with that part of the operation.

Once I have finalized the pricing I will post photos and a detailed description of what I am supplying as I did not have all the components of the base to copy.

Until then

Kind Regards

Nigel

Derek, Only the control box up front would have this cover. The other one in the rear compartment above the WS19 set is covered by the big cover.

Once I get my front ammo bins from Midwest Military I will take some pictures of the way this should all be setup.

Nigel, pls put me down for one of the aerial mast bases.

Default Mast base

Thanks for the update Nigel - I was wondering what had happened about the bases as i have found an original brass toothed base plate. I am still accumulating parts for the scout as I go, whether or not I restore the machine myself.

Cheers

Phill

Default Clarification.....

Hi Jordan

So what are we working on.....

The back panel that has the edges turned over...... the narrow metal strips that are rivited over the canvas...... and you have the switch box to bolt to the backing plate...... or do we also need the backing plate for the switch box.....?

May be cheaper to send by Grey Hound...... I work downtown and can easily pick it up.

Boob
