On the subject of replacment antennas.
My power antenna's nylon cord that runs within the mast snapped yesterday, meant it wouldn't go up all the way (motor would run) and wouldn't go down until you pushed it a bit and the cord went down far enough to grip on the teeth... I guess this is what happens when it hasn't been working for over a year then I suddenly fix the wiring and it has to go up and down again.
Anyway, rang around geelong trying to find a mast (300zx, Maxima, Patrol mast, Aerpro AP252). No-one had one anywhere. They could order them, but would take a week. Went to Geelong Car Sound. The guy brought out a AP252 Arepro mast and it had a differant end (slightly). Went back and came out after 10mins of hunting through their massive stock of masts with a '92 Maxima's mast (genuine nissan part as well
) and an EXACT match
. Was $39 for the mast. Much cheaper than nissan and their stupid assed $70 prices!
Anyway, new mast in = budgie & his 'bird happy again
