Default #19 Wireless in WW2 Jeeps

Hello

I am looking for instructions to mount the #19 Wireless set into the WW2 Canadian Jeep.

I have several plans, which are very elaborate involving special mounts. But am looking for a simpler installation.
I have checked with Chris Bissailion and he has provided what input he can.

I also hear that there was a special anntenea mount that was fastened under the spare fuel carrier and was shaped like a Z.

Thanks

Eric

The aerial mount you mentioned is actually for the B-Set. Has a squeeze lever to open the opposite end which then holds onto a fuel can or seat back as needed. Very similar to the clamp ground a welding rig has with the black rubber aerial base for the B-Set connected to it.

You can see photos of my jeep when it was in a signals configuration at this page:

The A-Set aerial is the one on the back of the jeep connected to the live wireless battery rack. Two additional battery holding racks are on the wings. This is a British airborne configuration and not how it would have been done for a normal British or Canadian infantry signals jeep. Just posting the site so you could see the two types of aerial mounts which would have been used across the board.

Default #19 Set Wireless in Jeep

Hello David

I have your book, yes thanks for the Airborne Jeep Info.

Unfortunetly the information is not what i am looking for. There is suposed to be an A Antennae mount shaped like a Z, which was attached below the fuel can. This being a Canadian Modification.
Another person a few years ago talked about it on MLU, but he was unable to find the information he had in his files.

I have the B Anntenae mount you are talking about.

Thanks

Eric
