So the easier part is done, now i will have to dig it out of a sheet.
Chris, the adapter plate should look somehow like this? I sniffed everywhere on the net and in my papers and found absolutely nothing about it. Unicorn item obviously.

There's always stuff on ebay if you type WW2 19set wireless.

Thanks Chris, now its clear! I have 1583 (and thanks for that!) - there is a nice sketch of No.25, unfortunately no adapter plate nor parts under the carrier itself.
Im sorry about my endless questions but as it seems that I will have to make it I want to make it right. And every picture or info counts. So thanks again.

Lots of WS19 stuff on ebay, you are right Ron, but mostly "regular" parts.

OK, so here it is. I made it from 2mm sheet which is a bit thicker than original I guess, but still happy with it.

Petr.

Your choice of 2 mm sheet was a good one. The originals are just a little too thin and the burled nut is easily overtightened causing the plate to flatten directly underneath it and the sheet metal torn open right back through the hole, rendering the plate useless.

Nice work as usual, by the way!

David

Beautifull work Petr.
Could you post some pictures and description of how you made the parts, (and also of your other great work).
I'm sure many of us would like to try some of your methods.
Regards
George

Not quite like that, but very close and probably easier to make.

There's a 'step' rolled into the plate, about level with the middle of the supply unit connector, and a little deeper than the 'buttons' on the strap end. The 'cups' in your drawing should be keyhole slots like on the earlier supply units.

The "Carriers, Set, Various" (Doc 1583 in the WS19 group archive) has a diagram of Carrier No.25 (I think), but if not there's an oblique drawing of it i Wireless for the Warrior Volume 2 on page WS19-61. The Batten, Terminal, 2-pt, No.4 is mounted to the vehicle table (under the set) instead of on top of the adapter and supply unit, and that illustration shows the later type of carrier mounting clamps that use Barry Mounts instead of the "Bridge" type of shock absorbers.

The adapter plate is very scarce because the later Wireless Set C12 supply unit had the keyhole slots reversed, so didn't need the adapter.

*ALL* mounting hardware is scarce, because it was usually scrapped with the vehicle, or removed and scrapped when the radio fit was updated.

Best regards,
Chris.
