Thanks Si. Obviously I’m used to seeing the old one , so the new one looks a little odd at the moment. I will get used to it . Thank you for everyone’s input. Kind regards Rob.

I have the shorter one at the moment, the wire twist isn’t as pronounced as the other one I have .

So did the original antennas come with the twist or just straight?. Just curious.

I knew I had a spare somewhere. I’ve dug it out . The antenna measures 16.5”. If these are Oem am I right in saying the one I have is not Oem . I can’t put pics up anymore. I will text a pic Si. The new one fits on ok but when tight is the wrong angle .

Yep got it , thanks Si .

That’s the twist antenna isn’t it ?.

Will take a look , thanks Keyo .

In good condition please ,i just need the bee sting part . kind regards Rob

Non mechanical parts are not that great either. I fitted new roof tails and the plastic covers a few years back . The roof rubber is split , the caps are now grey instead of black . I also purchased a brand new splitter two years ago , it now looks as old as the car . These are OEM parts not after market. Nothing seems to last nowadays.

Probably something to do with the Tapatalk system. It’s a proper nuisance.

I had mine powder coated roughly 2 years ago . Still looks great . In fact the pics should be near the end pages of my build thread .

I can take pics for you will , but I can’t post them on here .

Try logging out and logging in again Dox. I get the 30 second reply thing sometimes.Ive also had you haven’t used enough words to reply.

Nice one Hasan thank you. That’s what I was thinking. The trouble is if lost some of the plastic too, where I had to cut the kink out. My thinking was , yes I can find an insert but now I’ve got very little to hold on to while trying to push the rubber hose on . Luckily for me Martin has sent me the black pipe I need. What I’m proposing to do is fit the rubber hose first, then feed the plastic pipe down through the bulk head. I’m hoping it will slide down without hitting any snags. I also need to find a bung to fit in the filter end to stop the fuel coming out when I remove the pipe. In hindsight I would have kept the bungs that come with the new filter, but never mind.

Many thanks Martin .

Many thanks Keyo , I will message him .

I will look into this Dox . I will have to measure the size needed, unless someone already knows .

It’s worth considering mate. I don’t know what modern cars use though.

It’s the black one Martin

Thanks for the reply. I don’t fancy a trip to derby from Devon though lol . I’m hoping someone will have one they can post , maybe Martin or Chris . It’s worth giving vince a shout too .

Not a bad idea Hasan . Do you think it would stand up to stones hitting it though?. I really wanted to slide the Oem line though in place of the damaged one and be done with it .

Bumpy .

As above for my VR please . Must have the brass flares intact as well please. Kind regards Rob

I couldn’t agree more tone .

I thought the snail cog would be the problem. I did the same as you , set the direction myself, until I found a replacement control.
