Aha! The left hand end also has an earthing strap fitted: Item 31 if you blow the image up.

Presumably that bolts to the radio table/vehicle metalwork, and the WS19 earthing strap to the other end of the carrier?

There may be room to get a power connector on the left hand end, but the standard "Batten, Terminal, 2-pt" is rather too large, I think. I suspect the extra clearance on the left hand side is for power and harness cabling to be routed clear of the front panel.

Reviving this thread I thought I'd post a picture of the various securing straps used with the carriers. I have 5 sets of straps and all are different. The first two are manufactured with conveyor type belting but of different grades, the third is stitched canvas. The fourth is black conveyor type belting and the last is of webbing construction. I suspect that it could just be that each were produced by different manufacturers who used materials that they already familiar with or had easy access to.

Is the 22 radio cradle etc still used on a Mk2 carrier ?

From what I have seen, Richard, both the No 21 and No 22 Carrier can be used for a 19-Set installation in that UC. Either one is centered in the space across the front right corner of the rear compartment.

If you can get your hands on a copy of Bill Gregg’s Profile No. 5 you can see how either installation is set up.

I have a roll of this webbing strap somewhere... I'll have a look for it.

Happy to sell some if it is the right stuff.
