Oh, sorry, did you mean aerial? :bigrin:

Do you really mean there is a hole in the front wing ? Or do you mean in the scuttle ? You cannot for any practical purpose put an aerial in an E type front wing because you would have to put a very long co-axial cable on it to allow the bonnet to open, and you would be forever at risk of strangling yourself when leaning forward

For the scuttle almost any proprietory aftermarket pull up aerial will do, but fitting it may be a bit of a pain depending on exactly where the hole is

Harvey, if you plan to listen to DAB you won’t get good reception with an old fashioned aerial even with a so called booster. You could look at dabonwheels but you won’t find the pull up aerial type.
