I'm restoring an antenna (don't ask me why--I'm supposed to be working on my
frame).
The gray plastic body was warped. I heated it in the oven at 250 degrees for a
few minutes and it straightened right out. All my
mounting hardware for the fender is in mint condition.
My main question is about the cable. I know how it mounts (clamps/solders) to
the antenna body, but is the cable supposed to be
long enough to go all the way to the radio? If I use modern cable (I was
planning on buying a cheap antenna with a long enough
cable and cutting it off for my use), are there differences I should look out
for?
Any help is appreciated.
