I need to put a 90 degree bend in a car aerial, is it possible, the radius does not have to be that tight.
Wouldn't have thought a chrome one would bend even slightly....there hollow a made of cheap material.
They will not bend if they are a telescopic metal tube type . You would need to make something that you fix the aerial to .. Other idea would be to drill and shape a nylon block to fix the aerial to, and then connect a coax inner to the bottom of the aerial inside the block. Use another one a bit further up as a standoff to avoid torque from the aerial twisting it round at the base. Or just get an aerial that uses 2 standoffs from the body panel. Or nick an active aerial off a BMW or similar. Low profile sharks fin on the roof..
I have a 57 split with safaris, I want to mount one central between the air vents under the peak, between the safaris and then bend it straight up
So does mine,......I thought it was just me......I find a piece of 15mm pipe insulation solves the problem.
Assuming that you have one with two mounting points that fit on the front panel by a headlight, then just a piece between the two mounting points.
Can’t you put a whiplash aerial? Find an old Cortina in a scrappy and see if they have still got theirs
