naaficook Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hello Forum, I've bought some items on a auction, amongst it some unknown to me WS parts. Are you able to help to identity these? It is a support bracket, about 12cm (5") wide and 10cm (4") high. It has 4 bolts to attatch too something. In white paint it is marked "ZA39117" Thanks in advance, Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Suslowicz Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) My guess is that it's the bottom mount for an aerial mast on a jeep/champ/landrover bumper. From the stores cod it's late 1940s/early 1950s.... Scratch that: it's a "candlestick" mount for a vehicle side, as used on Jeep and Austin (no doubt other stuff), and takes a pole that supports a standard aerial base No.10 (or base No.9 with an adapter plate). Used with the WS19, WS31AFV, and probably lots of other things. The hex bolt at the bottom is almost certainly to retain the post that supports the aerial base. Photos in Wireless for the Warrior Volume 2, pages W.S.31 AFV - 14 and 15. Chris. Edited October 16, 2015 by Chris Suslowicz typo....

naaficook Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 I've had a search at lots of "ÇHAMPS" photo's but coudn't find this type of bracket. Will have a look at LandRover next :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naaficook Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) Allthough not confirmed yet by photo's or drawings, it seems to be an early LARKSPUR antenna support bracket. It will hold the "candlestick" antenna pole. (see Picture) Edited October 16, 2015 by naaficook Correcting error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fv1609 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 The receptacle for the antenna stork is very familiar. But I have never seen this particular mounting before, I just wonder whether it might be for such rarities as an FFR trailer where the conventional vehicle mounting plate would be inappropriate?

fv1609 Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Or even for when fitting a C12 or C42 in a Jeep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Suslowicz Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Or even for when fitting a C12 or C42 in a Jeep? WFTW Volume 2 shows it with WS19 (and WS19HP) in a Jeep installation. Also note the 4 large holes in those candlesticks, which are for the Aerial Base No.9 Mounting No.1 pillar. It's certainly pre-Larkspur, though the RAC may well have had their "New Range" on issue by then.:-D Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott9643 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 We have two of these as standard fitment bolted to the body sides of our Austin K9 GS FFR and as stated they are the lower support bracket for the aerial mounts. I would be very interested if it's for sale The candlestick mounts as shown in the photos above are a bit short for the K9, so if anyone has some very tall ones they would like to part with, I'd be interested in those as well - it would save the bother of making them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
