aerial question

[nickso]

hopefully an easy one, what has everyone done with the aerial hole in the rear quarter? i dont want to weld the hole as i cant paint the car yet.

i assume some sort of grommet but where does one find the right size?

[mikekean]

mines got a gromet, you can get them at halfords i think. going to get mine welded up soon though looks much better.

cheers ill try there then. im eventually getting mine welded but its pointless doing it until i get the rest of the car sprayed after it gets new wings etc. i broke the aerial tonight whilst messing around so i need something watertight pretty soon.

What do u use for an aerial then, do u use the strips that go at the top of the rear window?

[nickso]

nah i dont have a stereo or speakers or loom for it so the aerial is excess baggage. the heater is coming out next week. which reminds me....new thread coming soon

Nip up to Autosave and get a blanking grommet to fill the hole for now mate

This is a question i was thinking about the other day as i have an electric aerial thats stuck up, looks like a bloody RC car.

i found something in the van that just about fits so ive used that. might keep the water out.

dave, do autosave actually do grommets for this purpose?

They should do

If you measure the diameter of the hole and then go up and ask for a blanking grommet for a xxmm diameter hole(where xx= hole diameter in millimetres)


should just be a few pennies mate

Failing that,tell me the diameter of the hole and I should be able to get one for you and drop it off at the hoose

I just used some good tape last time!!!!!! Elephant tape, duck tape, etc!!!! Got a really good clear tape from halfords actually that is super strong and weather proof!!!! Handy for a lot of bodges!!!!
