I figured i would challenge myself again and make some cb antennas for my girl and i think i didn't do too bad on them.
This is what i started with 2, 1/25 rear axles from and old kit i had. ![]() These are the antennas i have on truck now ![]() I then did the measuring with the other antenna and the pin in the end of cut my 2 metal axles to fit. ![]() Once cut and fitted i wrapped telephone wire aound the axle with the coating on it first, but found it was easier without the insulation on it just use the bare wire. ![]() After wrapping the wire i used 3/32" Tech-Tron Heat Shrink Tubing TT100 3/32" Blu to cover it and a lighter to shrink it and here are the results. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I made these to see if i could do it cause i like to challenge myself on certain things. PMD'S antenna's are way better than mine. I didn't post this to cause any flame wars or to knock PMD'S antenna's. PMD does far better work than i do and i stand behind PMD'S aftermarket part's cause what they sell is just great!!!!

Hi Mike, I don't want to hi jack your thread but I think this would be the best place for it. Evolution of that cb antenna
I got a early xmass present to day witch meant I could start on the mirrors for my rig so I did some evolving of your aerial and Ausiie/ 540-MAN's aerial, I used spring wire same as (Ausiie/ 540-MAN's ), and twisted some thin electric wire down it and than wrap it around the top of the mirror bracket so I can feed it into a small hole above the door on my rig, then used some heat shrink over the top (Mike), I then used some chrome vinyl over the top of the mirrors for a better reflection... ![]() ![]() Thanks guy's ![]() ![]() ![]() Cheers Tracy
