Early DMC-12, Need windshield style antenna shaft..what does everybody use?
Hi Everyone,
I'm new to this Forum, and I'm looking forward to learning and sharing. My son & his wife just bought an early build 1981 DeLorean with low miles. It has the original (1st rendition) style antenna on the windshield, with original windshield. The base unit is there but the actual antenna shaft is missing. According to DMC (Texas) this part is not available.
I tried using one of the antennas off my 2015 MINI and it screwed right into place, so I know what the thread pattern is, but using a MINI antenna won't work as it's too fat at the base, and it would be more original/vintage looking with a silver antenna anyway. I wouldn't think this antenna is very long in stock length right?
What does everyone use who has replaced their old damaged or missing antenna? Anyone care to share a photo of what it's suppose to look like?
We installed new gas shocks on the hood, the doors, and engine cover last weekend, so we are tackling one thing at a time.
We love the car!
Thanks,
John
