Thread: Antenna tool for raising mast

  1. #1

    Antenna tool for raising mast

    I have a 1970 911 coupe. The top of the manual antenna recedes into the mast and is very difficult to pinch the antenna top button with your finger tips in order to raise the antenna. I heard there was a small tool available that was designed to fit under the antenna top button to make tasing the mast simple. Anybody know if there was such a tool?

    Make sure you have the correct key for your antenna!

    A Hirschmann antenna uses this key:

    At the 356 Club All-Porsche Swap and Car Display, I purchased an extra Hisrchmann key or two from Woody's Custom Shop (949-722-1084 or 877-435-6911) but at this moment I can only find the Bosch key in his online (e-bay) store.

    a pic of your aerial would be very helpful - side and top
    does it have a small slot in the side ?
    any idea what brand it is ?

    cheers
