guide<BR><BR></FONT></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the wire is withdrawn it is wise to place a small piece of foam over the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
jamming it.This removes the chance of cutting or kinking the antennae during
insertion.Use of a little talc, or similar, as seen earlier in this thread
