<DIV><BR></DIV>Sounds to me like you guys are making this more difficult than
it is. Just take a standard set of Nyrod tubes and install the outer casing
into the fuse in a position where you feel it will be secure( I try to locate
as far away from any control cables as possible). This outer tubing has an
inside diameter of approximately 1/8" so it presents no resistance to the
insertion of the antenna wire. O.K., now what you do is cut approximately a
1/2" piece off of the inner size tubing. Take this 1/2" piece and slide the
very end of your antenna wire into it 'til it just exits the opposite end from
the insertion end and hit it with a very small drop of Cya. Now go fishing
through your stash of music wire and pick out a piece of about .020 wire and
just push the inner plug to the end of the outer tube.Remember, it's Nyrod so
it will slide in very easily and you will have no fear of nicking the antenna
because you are pushing on the plug, not the wire itself. It will be necessary
to place your finger on the entrance hole as you withdraw the music wire so
that the wire wont pull the antenna part way back out. Once the wire is
withdrawn it is wise to place a small piece of foam over the entrance
hole jammed in place with some kind of keeper in order to prevent vibration
from backing the antenna out of the tube. As long as the foam piece is pressed
over the entrance hole, there is not enough space around the antenna wire
itself, inside the tube, for it to be able to back down the wire. <BR>When you
want to remove it just remove the piece of foam and it slides out like it was
on ball bearings. <BR>Georgie

using a really thin guide wire to pull it through the tube instead of
