OK, so after a while Im back with my WS19 project. Chris, have you had a chance to make couple of pics of your No.25 carrier, please? It would help me a lot because there is still a lot of unclear things to me. Many thanks in advance!

There is only one (very long) strap used on the Carrier No.25 and you will need to make up an adapter plate for the supply unit.

The fixed end of the strap attaches to the side of the supply unit (using the 'keyhole' slots), then passes underneath the carrier to the right hand side, goes around the wireless set, and the adjustable end attaches to the adapter plate which is screwed to the top of the supply unit case.

The adapter plate (I do not have, and need to make one for my own carrier) is needed to 'reverse' the keyhole slots in the top of the supply unit case - as designed, the slots are to the left (for when the supply unit is laid on top of the set on Carrier No.22), and Carrier No.25 needs them pointing to the right.

The plate also needs a 'step' rolled into it so that the keyhole slots are clear of the top of the supply unit by enough distance that the studs on the strap end plate (the adjustable one) can fit through the holes.

Question: has anyone got one of the adapter plates (it's shaped like a house) and can supply measurements? (If not, we'll have to work it out from the diagram in the "Carriers, Set (Various)" manual.)

Chris.

Thanks Chris! Yes, picture of the adapter plate would certainly help!
Is the plate supposed to be screwed through these 4 holes on the top?

Yes. Those holes are used for the "ZA.10203 Plate, Seating" when mounting the variometer on top of the supply unit.

If you can't find the long clamping strap for the set and supply unit, it's probably best to get a complete strap of any length and replace the webbing portion with one of the required length. (The metalwork is probably difficult to make from scratch and the knurled nuts and 'T' bolt for the end is threaded 5/16 inch British Standard Cycle Thread! (You can get taps and dies for that on eBay but they are not particularly cheap.))

Best regards,
Chris
