Roof mounted Beesting aerial

Hi

Boblebaard's car is my German Look pin up car, I often have his car as my desktop background. I love the look of the Beesting radio aerial on his car from a late model VW, but I was worried about future access to the aerial.

On the later VWs it's possible to pull the hood lining down to repair or service the aerial. That's not possible with an old bug, so I came up with the idea making a frame that will sit under the hood lining but will accept a standard Beetle interior light, so if I need to service or replace the aerial I will only need to remove to interior light to gain access to aerial securing nut.

My bracket, still needs some more welding, another job for when the body is off the pan and motor and trans are out of the way.

Steve
