Not unusual . But in answer to your question. pretty much any antenna will work, how effectively is another question..I drove around in a Mk2 Cortina in my youth with a coat hanger as an antenna.. worked a treat, and handy too , if I went swimming...
. Any breakers around you that may have an original. If the previous owner gave you one with the car, there must have been a reason. It might have been broken before you went to fix it.. dunno.
As @colb mentioned, antenna amplifiers are great if you need to pick up weaker signals, although they amplify interference as well. I would suspect that this is not your case.. The aftermarket head unit is probably going to be quite happy with any antenna you find aesthetically pleasing. .. Maybe consider, if you go that way. A motorised one that retract with the radio off.. I think that would be a nice touch on a Z, and have considered it myself, having had several broken off over the years by boof heads... Although that might require a bit of bodywork.. Maybe $150.00 aint so bad...
When you said strange hack, my thoughts went immediately to coat hanger
until I read on a bit, what a relief ....
Haha. I’m quite over the coat hanger stage. I’ll just play cds until I find a new booster unit that I feel like buying. Hey, I plugged the hole, and it looks correct!!When you said strange hack, my thoughts went immediately to coat hanger
I got two tonneau covers sent from the UK to Australia.. for 70 quid postage.. I was chuffed. I sold one of them for what it cost me to get both sent here, including the covers...How much is the postage to Silvis, Illinois?
. Still waiting for someone to sell me a leather covered binnacle cover though.. Australian sunshine is punishing... but I guess freight costs are relative to availability...
Who do you use to send, 24 guid for 2 kg... That's pretty good, considering the size as well...
#2 is the part. The top end broke off.
