Fw: Re: [Milsurplus] TCS Mounting Brackets

[Kees & Sandy]

I would like to see some present day mobile/portable TCS installations. The TCS in the vehicle getting it's tires replaced caught my attention.

After I get back for this wedding trip and get caught up I'll take photos of mine and send them to whomever is interested.  But basically, there are four brackets, two small ones at the front and two larger ones at the rear.  The rear ones, at least, are "handed" (left and right) and stick up above the top unit (normally the transmitter).  When you stack a TCS, you remove the four shock mounts from the top cabinet.  Two of them go in the middle on the bottom.  The other two attach to the top of the rear stacking brackets and to the bulkhead behind the set.

And the finish is also black wrinkle.

I have heard of the famous TCS mounting brackets used when the rig is stacked. Anyone have a photo? 
Was it painted to match the cabinet? Did it use a spacer to separate the cabinets?

I'd like to get my TCS-8 as close to stock as possible.

PS: any info/photos of the "20 foot whip antenna" these were designed to drive?
