Antenna Clip

Recommended Posts

Is this the upper antenna clip you need?

This only came with the Blaupunkt antenna #7 691 210 031. Might be available separately...but doubtful.

I tried my skill at photo editing, which obviously needs improvement, but the dimensions shown should help you to fabricate something that looks better than a screw and ziptie. Be sure the mast is not grounded to the A-pillar.

And if you have a sunroof car, make sure the attaching screw is short (per the picture) so you don't perforate the front drain hoses for the sunroof water channel.  

 

I seem to recall that old Honda Civics used a similar upper attachment bracket; might be worth checking into.

I'm sure you could improvise or 3d print something if you're not particular.

 

In my case, I had a NOS antenna but it came with a later style clip.  I ended up buying a cheap, trash antenna for an old style clip. I soaked the clip in Evaporust then had the screw part zinc plated with some other items I was sending out.  Turned out really nice.

When my "Earlier" style clip broke, JB weld alone was not strong enough.  So I drilled both halves and fitted part of a wire brad for reinforcement set in JB weld.  It's been at least 5 years and holding.

A radiator shop is a good place to take a leak.

 

I have no idea what I'm doing but I know I'm really good at it.

I feel like this is concourse judge territory. Looking in my own garage, I see I have one of each: the Blaupunkt style described by John (what is that logo though?) and the Hirschmann style ID’d  by Shawn.  I am going to dub that the “chess pawn” style, insuring higher prices on EBay, because of course any part with a catchy name commands a higher price on EBay.

But why would a clip break? There is nothing structural about them. 

Things get hooked on the antenna even when fully retracted.

Electric cord for overhead trouble lights.

Off the concourse, this might be a better way:

Universal-Auto-Car-Stereo-Hidden-Internal-Amplified-Aerial-Antenna-AM-FM-Radio

 

Seems to work on the dashboard in front of the seatbelt warning pod, at least in the garage.  An amplified AM/FM antenna (power wire not shown in the image).  Available from the orient via all the popular online methods, less $ than a tube of jbweld

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
