We made the hinged front windscreen in for the front of the radio box.

Tomorrow we start with the  wheel boxes for the wireless box, plenty of fun in my holiday's.

Yes, and it sits on Insulator W/T 'H' with an extension bar to get the central feed below the mounting bracket, then there's a cable to the pyrex insulator in the blackout box for feedthrough to the vehicle. The straps are to bypass the (not very good at high power) Pendulastic insulator, and leave the ceramic mushroom to do that bit and the rubber to absorb jolts and swaying.

I probably have some spare parts of this assembly, or bits in the collection that can be used as a pattern.

Best regards,

Chris.

Wireless for the Warrior Volume 1, page W.S.19 - 74 shows the layout. I may have a sample of everything except the vehicle mounting bracket. The connector 20D should be listed in the Parts Identification List in enough detail to fabricate one.

I sold one of these a few years ago - I can ask the buyer if they would support loaning it for patterning.

Let me know.

Hello Tim , we can always see if there is a possibility to look at reproducing this support are if the buyer may be in to sell this part.

And this is the sketch I found in the Wireless for the warrior. Also a picture of the wireless stuff I collected over the year to use in my Morris Commercial C4 wireless .

If it's the one I think it is (that takes 'D' rods from the 34-ft steel vertical aerial - the 'golf bag'), then it's an "Aerial lead in No.16" which is built up from "Insulator W/T 'H'", Aerial Base No.3, four tinned copper braid straps, and an adapter plate.

I've got some of the bits somewhere, is your vehicle fitted with a "House Type" wireless body, and is the aerial base mounted through the roof or on the centre line of the body behind the cab, because the mount requirements are different.

Chris. 

  

I think that the aerial base looks like the one on the picture Chris ?

Hello Chris.

Yes it's a house type wireless box that I am bilding and want to make it in to a HP unit . Ass it seems the later house body's had the aerial support in front of the cabin on a metal support.

Earlier models had the aerial on the roof.

Will post a picture of a base that looks like the thing I am looking for.

Fitted the glass in to both windscreens and while finishing this section a made the side deflector for side sections of the windscreens. 

Hello , anyone have a idea how the jack handles are fitted in to the cabine. There are specific clips for the handles but where are these situated?

Thanks.

Fitted the glass in to the passenger side windscreen,  first had to make a wooden template to have the glass cut the right measurement for the frame.

Some time back I found a new old stock rubber seal and used this for the underside of the windscreen to cabine seal.

Next job will be the drivers side. 

Picture from a wireless Morris in use with the Belgian Brigade.

Some paintwork on the Morris . The division signs are from the 1st Belgian Brigade and the senses number from a Morris wireless that was in use with this brigade.

Fruitful weekend on the Morris . Repaired and painted the windscreen frames and made a template to have the safety glass cut 

And started to fit the interior boards on the front wall and looking how I can fix the charging switch bord and the same for the axillary generator control board . For the moment not really sure if I fit this one next to the operators table are on the left side wall next to the table.

If I don't find the right lock for the rear radio box then I  make a copy of the original one.

Did you find the correct aerial mount and specific variometer for the WS19HP?

Not yet,  still looking . For the moment the installation in the radiobox will be a set 19.

You never know if I find these parts to go with my HP receiver. 

 Many set 19 stuff is getting difficult these day's,  luckily I been collecting for more than 10 years.🫡

But I am still looking to have the high power unit complete,  but it is difficult and expensive.

These are the spring loaded Shock Mounts needed to attach the No23 Carrier to the table. Clip onto the metal corners of the No 23 Carrier.

New rubber feet were/are available from Jordan Baker in Canada. The rubber and metal construction of the feet seems to come apart on original examples. 

 

Thanks Simon for the information.  I have 4 of these rubber feet from Jordan and on the picture are the bits that are bolted on the radio operators table.

Starting to mount everything on to the carrier No23.

A other piece of the puzzle,  collected  a bad set 19 on a carrier No 23. It's the right carrier for my wireless truck. I have a almost new set 19 out of Italy but this one is fited on a carrier No25. 

Had a carrier No 23 on loan to reproduce but now I have the original one.

After some minor adjustments we have a nice closing rear door on the radio box .

Now ready to fit some sheet metal plate on to the wood.

But first of to Normandy for a few days.

If you are on holiday , what do you do ?playing with the Morris

Made the wooden frame for the rear door and looking to shorten the new door hinges.

Ones the radio box door fit's ok I can start to fit sheet metal plate on the wooden frame.

Working on the roof ventilation , the ventilator above the axillary generator is in place and I can start to make the roof top cover for this ventilator.  Also been looking to fit the 3 ventilation boxes on the roof.

The floor is in place , just need to paint 4 small planks in the corners of the box.

Metal construction of the radio table is ready,  still need to make the little wooden drawer for the left side of the table and also the sliding extension in the middle of the table.
