Big Mark Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 My areial doesn't always go all the way down so i guessed that it was a mast fault so brought a replacement from ebay but now that it's arrived it doesn't look right. Am I correct in thinking that there shouldbe a toothed plastic belt at the bottom of the mast? This one deosn't have that and I don't fancy messing around removing the old one if this is not going to fit. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/300960257259?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 Anyone got a pic of what a replacement mast should look like?

stevie_b Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 I don't have a photo, but yes the mast should have a toothed plastic belt running up the middle of it. I clicked on the link, but the photo on ebay is as clear as mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 (edited) Undo the locking nut on yours and then turn the radio on which should feed yours out, its not the correct aerial mast looking at the photo in your link. Do the reverse to fit a new one but check all the nylon is intact on your old one The one royh posted above is Edited November 9, 2013 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jord Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Yup stock one has a toothed belt down the middle. You're much better off buying an aerial off a member on here. I had to wait a while to find one but they're similar money to your eBay one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Another option would be to retro fit a Honda S2000 aerial. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/honda-s2000-aerial-ap1-ap2-/111187622079?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19e34c78bf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Mark Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 I can't decide if I like the stubby aerials on not. Think I'll just get a new factory mast as I think I prefer the look of it when down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I've got one. How much use it'll be I don't know but you're welcome to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzi Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 My mast kept jamming so bought a replacement off ebay a year ago. Still going strong http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Supra-Electric-Aerial-Power-Antenna-Mast-1993-1998-/171162494492?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27da14661c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 The genuine replacement aerials aren't that dear from Toyota. When you extract your old areial you will probably find there is a small length of the plastic left inside the spool which you will have to remove before fitting the new part.
