Having had a new front panel and not being overly happy about drilling it, but needing an aerial Im thinking standard original stylee retractible. What do you guys have fitted?
I've got a dual-mount (which isn't very good). I did suffer anguish drilling my front panel . I'd avoid trying to drill for a true stock antenna (mounted on the front bulge under the windscreen). It's an odd-shaped hole that's difficult to get right. Stick-on internal antenna?
got a chrome single mount from one of the sponsors off here ,good quality chrome as well and very cheap. Sorry cant remember who :headscratch2:
I have an electric one fitted in the original front panel through the difficult to drill hole in the bulge under the windscreen. I didn’t have to drill the hole but making room for the motor was a challenge – it’s very close to the A post.
My bus is in the shop for resto. at the moment. One of the few bits of welding they have had to do was to replace a bit of steel in where the antenna was. The problem with all of the antennas fitted in the bulge below the windscreen is that the body of the antenna is a alu/zinc alloy (muckite) which causes electro metal corrosion. In my experience this starts imediately it is installed, I am going to fit an internal antenna eventually. Tony
You can get an external glass mount that fits against a mating piece stuck to the inside of the glass. Works well, no drilling.
Why not get an internal fit DAB ariel and get a lovely DAB radio and BBC 6 music can brighten your listening.
Ive got one that fits on the a piller and the top section slides into the bottom section if your going through the car wash and the reception is good on it I bought it from a stall at vanfest
I've got a single mount original style one off the top of my head its just 2 round holes on the front panel, but was talking to jazz999 off here earlier and hes using a screen mounted jobbie that seems to do the job well enough.
