Hey Richard

I spun your picture around without having to visit the southern colony.

The base you have is bolted down with 8 bolts to the fender. Then the wireless carrier is attached to this base with 4 of the shock mounts. The ws19 then gets bolted to the wireless carrier.

David, that mount is the original style used only with the WS11. They were removed when the WS19 was installed.

Yes, the Wireless No.19 Set mounting instructions indicate the original factory installed Wireless No.11 Set base was to be removed, and returned to stores, less some mounting hardware. However . . . interestingly the No. 11 Set factory base was also reused to form a bracket to hold mortar bombs. Those details are contained in the MK-I* modifications instructions for conversion when mounting the 2" mortar to the engine deck.

A fellow restorer living in Alexandria VA has made up several sets of the rubber and steel shock mounts. I used a set on the HAC 19 setm and have another set saved for the Mk1 carrier.

He still has some sets left. He had one set on Ebay not long ago.

Dave Page is his name.
He sells under 741fan

He sold Bridges, No2 WS19 Wireless 19 set, 221962343989 starting bid was US$45.00 the set of 4.

I don't know how many more sets he has.
