Stew F Posted 7February, 2015 Report Share Posted 7February, 2015 Should the radio aerial on an sc with all black exterior trim be black as well, or just a stainless steel one? I have an 82 model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 7February, 2015 Report Share Posted 7February, 2015 If it helps at all, mine is all black with a little switch under the dash to raise and lower it ....Don't know if it's original ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew F Posted 8February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 8February, 2015 No worries. I think it should be black, as the silver one looks a bit out of place. But I wasn't 100% sure. Going to buy a black one anyway. Sure it will look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 8February, 2015 Report Share Posted 8February, 2015 I think for the sake of aestetics, it should be black .... you are right in thinking that a chrome one would look out of place .Mine is starting to show a bit of fading of the black and I will also replace it with another black one ....

Stew F Posted 8February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 8February, 2015 I just went out and bought one from Autobarns. Aeropro brand. It's just a manual one. Cost me all of $15. They do electric ones, but I had a look on the Aeropro website and I couldn't see one with a black mast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted 8February, 2015 Report Share Posted 8February, 2015 I seem to recall using dry lube on these back in the dark days of an apprenticeship (to stop the normal lubricant attracting dirt) FCP Euro has the Hirschmann's too: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/power-antenna-w-chrome-mast-hirchmann-602433001 Mine is black but not an SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew F Posted 8February, 2015 Author Report Share Posted 8February, 2015 Fitted. Took 15 minutes. Looks good. Quality is a bit schiesenhausen, but it works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
