MP37 Loading coil installation?

Post by 65shelby » Sun Jul 10, 2016 10:45 am

Does anybody have a nice picture depicting how the loading coil is installed in the antenna box? Everything I've found so far does not have a clear picture or drawing. Actual picture of an installed coil would be great. I also need measurements for the brackets to mount it in the box. Thanks!

Hello gentlemen
I have the same question about installation and pictures .
Can anyone please share pictures ?
Not just the blue print diagram .
We know there are few members here with radio jeeps and wonder why no one shared
Pictures yet .
Thanks

Hi Farrell

I installed the loading coil inside the box and there is NO room inside or requirement
To install these "special brackets" . The coil can be supported inside by two screws just like Robin did .
Thanks
