19 radio set carriers.

[kevin powles]

Hi, Does anyone know what the difference between the carrier set No. 22 and the carrier Set No.21 ZA3102 is?.

I know the carrier set No 22 is fitted to a mk1 carrier. Would the 21 carrier perhaps go in the turret of a Centaur (power supply mounted in line with 19 set).

Help !.

I have always found the above link to be a good source of information for the bits and bobs of ZA marked 19 set stuff. Mind you it applies to the Canadian stuff.

Wow, rob that's great, explains everything on the carrier 21 and 22 construction.

One question which I couldn't see in the manual, how is the strap configured when mounting a 19 set with the power supply on top, (as in a mk1. Bren carrier), is it one singular extra long strap?.

Thanks Kevin.

Take the two angle pieces that are screwed onto the bottom rails for the supply unit off. Place them on top of the sender/receiver at the left side (you'll see the holes line up and are made to accept it). Place the web fixing strap under them and screw the angles on to the S/R case. Install the rubber or web pads, the S/U (on its side) and snug the screw down to hold it all in place.

Thanks Bruce, it looks to me you can shorten a no 21,19 set carrier to make it a no 22 carrier. I won't do this of course but replicate my no 21 and build it shorter.

Does any one have any spare strap with end fittings?.

The strap for the radio is the same for all three mounts

The strap for the power supply is the same for mount 21 and 23
Strap clamping, No. 2 ZA 2988 PC 76455 C

The strap for power supply mount # 22 is longer because the power supply is mounted on its side.
