Mounting a meter movement in a 43-----

The current mounting is:

43 cabinet

foam 1

movement

foam 2

meter ring

The meter ring is attached directly to the cabinet with 2 screws, no spacers

OLDER Bird 43 had:

3 rubber bumpers to stand off and shock mount the movement from the front of the case (foam 1)

and a rubber ring between the movements and the meter ring (foam 2)

The foam for both the rear and front shock mounting can vary depending on

43 / meter ring / meter movement so I don't stock the foam.

The rubber bumpers are no longer made or sold.

The DC Cable = cable connecting the meter to the line section

Should be attached to the meter movement as:

BOTTOM NUT   (this should never be loosened OR REMOVED)

Flat Washer

Spade lug

Flat Washer

TOP NUT

There should always be a “BOTTOM NUT” on the meter movement it keeps the inner wiring in place.   If you remove it the meter will have a very high chance of being damaged internally.
