Would be anyone so kind and measure for me basic dimensions of the protective cage for the No.9 aerial, please?
I know there are many replicas but not sure about theirs authenticity either in design neither in sizes.
I believe there are again some differencies between the manufacturers, possibly also between Brit/Can types.
I like this one - made from D shaped rod, hopefuly UK made.
Thanks a lot!

Petr, I wished you had said, I have moulds and fittings for these so they even function as designed, I could have saved you some time ��*♂️.

Great work though my friend, they are quite satisfying to make.

Thank you Rob!
I believe that this is also one of the proper alternatives how to mount WS19 on later carriers. But couldnt found any manual or exact specification when used. So I went "our" way finally.
