Antenna Rattle
IndyFive-O:
Has anyone come up with a way to stop the repop antenna's from rattling?
This thing is driving me crazy.
carlite65:
only way i know of is to use nos antenna. i have found radio reception poor on the repops.

Take a pair of pliers and dent in the mast, squeezing the inner section. :o
Likely will not extend - but it will stop rattling. Just another less than perfect reproduction

I would actually consider doing this since I don't extend it anyway. Wouldn't kinking it cause it to bend it that spot - make it weak?

If your really going to be forced into that extreme You might consider drilling a small hole and injecting some epoxy or another sealant that would isolate and insulate the middle shafts from the outer. But yes deforming the outer will cause a kink that would be very noticeable
