Hi Ron

Whats the sleeve that you have on the cables. I can't say that I have seen that before except in your pictures?

Cable Condoms They keep the wireless transmissions from leaking out

I've never come across the military pattern but better welding supply shops and places that sell oxygen have very similar looking protective hose covers.

Hi Jordan. The outer sleeving is canvas. I presume as an aid to water proofing for open vehicles. I bought the leads from a fellow carrier owner years ago when I was completing my 19 set station. They are the exact length for my MK2. I recently just missed one of the little canvas covers for the switch control units. Here is a close up of the radio operators control unit. Try a google search on 'SENTIMENTAL JOURNEY' (Ian Durrant) Some of you will know him. He quite often has 19 set spares. Ron

Kev that might be a 19 set tray? I haven't researched the part number yet. Here are a few shots of the 19 set in my Jeep. There is only one central canvas strap which attatches to the plates that slot into the keyholes on the sides. So you would need four of these plates. One each end of the wireless and same on the PSU. I have had to make up this strap and I expect it should be tightened by knurled thumbscrew nuts. There is also a removable angle iron under the PSU.

No, as Jordan has said it is for the ground/truck mount. It was often substituted for carrier set 23 which was the more common one used. It was fitted to a table using "mountings, carrier, no.1" which had a quick release mechanism to rapidly release the set.
