[Milsurplus] Shock Mounts for BC-223 wanted

Howdy, Troops!

I'm still trying to put together my SCR-245 system
here. The worst part, finding the power, receiver, and
remote connectors, is finished, and appropriate cables
have been fabricated. While not be strictly authentic,
they'll serve the same purpose as the originals.

Still looking for an MP-37 antenna base, but that won't
be too much of a problem; they show up fairly commonly.

What I DO need to search for is the transmitter shock 
mountings; the receiver already has it's shock mount.

The transmitter sits on an FT-173 base, and the upper
part of the rig is held in place by an FT-172.

Substitute for FT-173 can be fabricated out of a sheet
of plywood with some "loose" shock mounts bolted to the
corners, but if I can find one I'd like to get hold of
the real thing.

Ditto the FT-172; that needs some sheet metal bending
and a loose shock mount, but again I'd like to find the
real thing if possible.

Does anybody out there have these critters lying around?


Thanks,

Tom, W9LBB
