ron77 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I have a LHD TR4a, which I have owned since 1982 and brought into the UK from the US. The car has a radio mast installed on the passenger side front (just off the right hand side wing, next to the glass). It cannot retract fully due to the wheel well. I have been told to relocate it, but I have an existing hole there and, frankly, I like it forward. However, it is also quite dull. Does anyone know where one can purchase either a chrome plated, or shiny stainless antenna? And, are there any available of lower height (not as long) that might collapse into the space the current one occupies? Thoughts welcome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RandallD Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 I am not sure about a UK source, but antennas like the one shown in this U.S. ebay link are quite common: Antenna My guess is it would be fairly inexpensive even with shipping to the UK. I assume your antenna is behind the baffle plate? If so, I think something like this would work. For some reason, mine was located aft near the gas tank.

ron77 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thanks. I am trying to get the length closer to 5" deep inside even if it means a wider base and more (although shorter) number of shafts. The current antenna sits about 5" above the fender fully retracted. That's my main problem. However, I'll re-measure again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sean7575 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Not sure of the quality but Halfords do a short antenna, about 5 inches and its not expensive. You could pop in and have a look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
