Also looking for pair of mountings if anyone has spare.

Hi Petr,

That adapter is very nicely done, is there any chance you could make me one?
(I have all the other bits for my setup.)

I thought you had a (somewhat butchered) Carrier No.25, with the mounting rails sawn off? (There were photographs in another thread at some point.)

I have an uncut Carrier No.25, with a WS19 setup on it, and have a week off (but Christmas presents to post), so will take some photographs of the various parts and find my vernier caliper in case you need detailed measurements.

The "Mountings, Carrier" shown in that drawing from Wireless for the Warrior are the post-WW2 ones (with Barry Mounts as used for the Larkspur radios instead of the "Shock absorber, bridge type" from WW2), and I think you need the earlier version for the Universal Carrier. I may have a single spare one that can be used as a pattern.

Best regards,
Chris.
p.s. I'll post more when it's not 0130Z and I should be asleep.

Hi Chris, thanks Im glad you like it!
Surely I can make one more.
Unfortunately i dont have any No.25 carrier, these pics were from the net. Pictures and dimensions will be highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance, looking forward to it!

It took incredibly long but finally I gathered all necessary details regarding my WS19 setup so its time to start fabricating

Carrier No.25 almost done.

And finished

Next step were mountings ZA10316. Again, thanks to great info from one supporter, it was relatively easy job.
