(DIY)Antenna replacement

Eagle Beagle

When you end up with something like this...

Antenna broken, cable ripped apart

Get yourself:
Bicycle standard brake housing with inner thread


Make sure you get yourself plenty of length


AND

Wire about 1.8mm, combination plier and energy
cut about an inch 3x



I started from here, removed the inner thread, outer housing nipple first
Find the hole, I had to chop the cable back and forth a couple of times



THEN:
Feed the inner thread downwards
hold the other end then pull back the housing
Use the 3 pieces of wire to do this, wrap round and squeeze gently
make sure its rounded to avoid scratches or use tape.

Chop chop again - gently....but firm



G reat succes, the new antenna.


You can use this method also for audiocables and such under your carpet
