Thanks for the info Diana,
I have been doing a bit of research, and it looks like the Army changed from the Larkspur batteries and carrier to an Aussie system sometime in 1969.
There is an EMEI for this, G 057- 18 specifying the change from the UK batteries and carrier to 'lightweight plastic cased batteries' with a different carrier.
All of the replacement parts are Australian, and have an Aussie DSN.
The EMEI is here on REMLR:
http://www.remlr.com/documents/EMEI/Series%202/G057-18%20-%20replace%20radio%20batteries.pdf I think that this is a picture of the setup here, from Anzac steel,
So, while the later 2A FFTs kept the Larkspur table, it looks like we went to local batteries, which I guess would be correct for my 1970 vehicle. It does only have one set of holes in the tub for the battery carrier, it would be interesting to know which type it had!
This is the carrier that I will make up, some dimensions would be helpful.....
It is a bit hard to see if the vehicle had a power distribution panel in the photo, there are some wires up there, but it would also be possible to wire the 160 directly to the batteries I guess.
There must be some info out there for fitting the American kit to the vehicle, I see that there was an EMEI called,
'Preparation for Radio installation. Used with Field Radio sets other than those of UK origin' number G 055 - 1.
It runs for 12 pages, but it does not look like we have a copy at REMLR.
(if anyone has a copy, I would be keen to see it!)
If I find any more photos or info , I will post them up.
