Phone aerial
 
Now, this sounds like a strange request, but can anyone post a photo of an original phone aerial (not the retractable radio aerial) on the n/s rear wing?

The reason I ask is that mine was fitted with a stubby aerial, which I’ve never liked that much, when I bought it and it’s now broken off. I’ve drilled out and re-tapped the broken thread and fitted a new ‘original style’ aerial from flea bay. But it doesn’t look quite right where it joins the wing fittment, so I may have to re-think it if it’s not as it should be.

Thanks, Jim

Here y'go Jim, (I'll let you rotate the image), but shout if the image quality isn't high enough, and I'll send you the original...

Brilliant - an answer in 10 minutes! Thanks loads. The aerial is the problem - just gonna call our sponsors!

But they don’t have one :(

So, if anyone out there has one surplus to requirements.......

I have one sitting in the shed doing nothing. It’s just the aerial though and not the base.

Yours if you want it 👍🏽

That’s just what I need Mark - brilliant! The base is fine, but the ‘genuine’ flea bay aerials are a different shape at the bottom - they flare out so they’re wider than the aerial base in the wing. Just let me know the price and, hopefully, I’ll see you soon at a reccy for the meet - my Dad’s affairs should be sorthed by 23 April all being well!

Not sure if the above post was intended for me or not?

Sorry, the black '8 through me; I thought it was Mark's! :o

Yes, if you PM me bank details I'll transfer the aerial cost plus postage and let you have an address.
