Electric Aerial....yes or no.

championdaddy · 19th November 2015, 20:59

I have had a brand new black mast electric aerial in my shed for years.

I was going to fit on my 2.8i Capri......but that never happened.

I am so tempted to fit it on the ZT.

I love the idea of a bit of Retro on it.

So.....Front wing..........or rear wing. ???

I know.... it's fighting talk.....bring it on !!

Id say rear wing like the old rover 600's. Used to like those electric aerials as a kid, thought they were cool

No and double no, for full retro you need a metal coat hanger

Preferably still in a coat hanger shape and inserted upside down

Surely it needs to be pulled into a Diamond shape to aid reception !!!

Pretty much - start fitting retro stuff that your car doesn't need and where will it end?

Advance/Retard lever anyone?

and don't overlook 6v electrics, starting handle (bit difficult that one) solenoid operated dip/main beam, semaphore signals, friction dampers and a myriad of other obsolete technology.
