RE: {Chrysler 300} Masts dull

["Ron Waters" <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sadly, none of these companies supply the correct drive cable. The design for 55-6 is unique and is different from later (57 and up) power antennas. So I'm looking to have the cable reproduced, possibly via 3D printing.

 

Again, the dimensions are 3/32" x 5/32" flexible nylon. A photo is attached.

Can you post a link to the ones you found that resemble the 55 Chrysler/Desoto cable ? It's a 3/32" x 5/32" rectangular nylon cable.

I did a search for "chrysler power antenna repair kit" and found a number of places that supply the mast drive cable.

Just curious. What did you use for the fiberglass line ? I have a 55 power antenna and the line has crumbled. What would you recommend for a replacement ?

Speaking of antennas, I have three 57 Chryslers 2 300c  one Imp, all have the same antenna,  power on the right front fender.  I have restored 2 of them cause the fiberglass sling to drive the mast up and down was damaged.  All fine so far, but i realy want better chrome on the mast sections.

 All mine are brass masts but the crome almost missing you can se the brass in spots.. can i rechrome my masts? anyone done this?  new masts?

  On my 60 i fitted dual rears with new cables splitter etc, the antenna expert I found at that time was in Florida and his name was Dennis Turner,  I have been looking for him but most likely I am out too late .. whatever he was incredibly helpful and  provided me with perfect antennas.

 Any idea on the mast is welcome..

Thanks Michael
