Post CB aerial
hi just got my 1.55m CB aerial from the posty who looked very confused by the shape of it :lol: and iv been wondering where is the best place to put it?
these are my main 3 choices:
Image
1. put the CB aerial where the current little aerial is

Image
2. fit it to the corner of the bumper (but may whip people :lol: )
3. make an angled bracket and drill through the boot and place it on the bottom right hand corner of the boot (more professional approach)

cheers

I don't think any of the places you suggest would be ideal, Jorge.

I think the aerial needs to be up high to get the best from it. How about something like this attached to the top of your tailgate:

I always put my CB aerial on the gutter. 2cv gutters are a bit flimsy and it helps to use an extra reinforcing bracket, but Dyanes are fine with just a standard gutter mount kit like this - http://www.roadking.co.uk/cb-radio-acce ... 15003.html

On the beige/yellow-and-sunburst Dyane, I drilled and bolted it through the centre of the top of the passenger's front wing.

It's not hugely clear, but you can just about see it in this pic...
