Electric Ariel
Just bought a £22 electric ariel from Maplins and if you ditch all the washers and use the ones from the original ariel it fits. Far cheaper than buying a toyota replacement. Only thing is they are a bit tight on the lead to the radio it was about 6 inches short.

Thats no problem, just mount your radio in the glove box!

You can get short extension leads, Try halfrauds or maplins, failing that I know that your local VW or Audi dealer definetly sells them as i used to sell loads and they are about 8" long.Originally posted by pete27

Hi Pete, Would you happen to have a maplins part no for that aeriel?, Knowing
the bunch at our branch they'll probably try to flog me a fishing rod,
Vince! Not another one in "one of those moods" Is this catching?

Found that aeriel on their site, It says it comes with 13m of screened cabel!
That must be a misprint if its too short for your truck, However as i just got the centre dash and sterio back in today and not wanting to yank it all out again just to change the jacks over i intend to cut the cable and join the new aeriel cable to it, Is there a notable loss of reception or interfearance
in doing this? Using a proper joiner, Also did you connect to the existing
aeriel loom and did it work ok Cheers ianToo young to die and too old to give a tossComment

could wire into the existing loom as the connecter is under the front wing, I did it the lazy way and just connected off the radio unit. Cable I just made a joint and reception is fineComment
