[Milsurplus] ITEMS WANTED

[Mike Hanz]

You can sometimes come very close with the tech manual installation 
drawings and a fuzzy photo of the actual mount, Tom.  I've used those 
ingredients to create mounts for a number of extremely rare airborne 
pieces of gear.  The installation drawings are normally to scale, so a 
hi res scan and then careful measurement of the image at high 
magnification will get you pretty close.  The other thing that helps is 
that mounts for a particular type, such as shipboard receivers as a 
class, generally have the same general construction, so you can compare 
the drawings with the architecture of a known mount.  Since you don't 
expect your shack to be hit by a torpedo, in the final analysis the 
appearance of accuracy is probably more important than the ability to 
absorb a 12.7g vertical force for 6.3 milliseconds, or whatever the 
original specification called for. :-)
