Car aerial cable

[CJ]

Does anyone know where I might pick up a car aerial extender cable (or even the bits to make one up)? I want to install a power antenna in the rear of the car and I need a few metres of cable to hook it up.

Ciaran,

I have one or two factory fitted aerials lying around if you are interested. Fit to the passenger side quarter panel.

Thanks Rory, personally I'm not a fan of external aerials on the FTO, I feel if spoils the lines somewhat I'll probably end up buying some RF cable in Maplins or the like...

After installing a third party power antenna (rear window mounted) I can safely say that there was no improvement over the stock antenna built into the rear screen. I still got bad coverage in built up areas. In fact, the stock antenna gave marginally better reception which was kinda annoying! See a pic of the model I used below:
