    This was an option on my car, as well . . .

    So if you've got any time, can You Guys maybe pull off a wheel, take a picture of what's inside there, then share them here? . . .

    . . .'cause there may just be more that a few people interested . . .




    . . . me, especially!

    Thanks, Hugh! . . .

    . . . your antenna's 'mast' looks considerably longer/different than the one I collected. And the 'box' is different, too --- color-wise, anyway

    The way the bracket is attached is interesting, also . . . looks like Phillips head screws + some kinda rivets (?)



    Real interested in what yours 'll look like, Nick --- post when you can?



    And thanks, You Guys! . . .

    . . . where else am I ever gonna see stuff like this?


    And who else would even have this?

    they are not rivets - just holes where screws could go through
