Default Aerial hooks

When the aerial is in the down position it is held in place by a hook mounted level with the division plate, its folded 4mm steel with a moulded rubber hook to protect the aerial.
I've made one copied from an original, it came out pretty well I think. I moulded it the same way as the original so the detail is correct to that.
I might make a small batch if there is enough interest, see photos below of mine and an original in place.

Trivia fact of the day, the Universal had the hooks facing in whereas the Scout and AOP MK1 had them facing out.

Ben, Nice job again!
I haven't seen that photo or mount arrangement before. Interesting low numbered carrier. Experimental?

Hi Jim
Yep. It's still here. More that happy to trade. That goes with anyone else as well. I would much prefer bits to fill in the blanks on my carrier.

According to a older air mail post price list it would be $115.75 Aussie dollars.
That's with a tracking number.

Jim, When you get the gear and sort it all out we'll talk. All good,just say when.

Nigel

OK I'll knock a few up, I'll let you know the cost after the steel has been cut.

That is a strange gun mount, I wondered if they'd cobbled together something from the tripod! There could be a digit missing from the end of the number, nice shot of the Bren mag bag next to the gunners slot. I need to find one of those, I have the steel mount but no bag.
