Hi Kevin
By the end of the week 7 will be finished......and I am sooooooo happy to say the word "finished".
I will be in contact with each of those who held their hand up for 1 soon to arrange delivery.

Kind Regards
Nigel

As Kevin said, I'd be happy for mine to go to him or another. We can sort it out over here. I mentioned that Rory Ballard might want one, but I see he has his Morris for sale. But we'll still take it if it needs a home.

Ron very happy from Dorset UK.

Default Aerial base

I recently aquired the base on the right, which takes a 5/8" dia rod. (the one on the left is the one fitted to the early carriers, and takes the 7/8" "D" set rods.
What does the 5/8 rod look like, what length is it, and what was it made of?
Thanks to whoever.

Did Nigel ever get those bases finished? I think he said they would be done in September.

I have mine from Nige. Brilliant work. Fits really well together. Mine is at the painting stage before fitting, but really pleased with it. Just need some good drying weather that is above freezing and I'm home and dry.

Hi, Just wondering about the bases, Where would someone get the part lynn has featured as I take it Nigel has only fabricated the main aerial base part. There is also the bottom bit the spring/chain attaches too, does anyone have details of this. Would be good if someone could post a few pics in this thread of what the complete aerial base looks like with every part together, also details of the forward aeriel too.

kev.
