[Wanted: Parts] Ariel mounts

[Rez]

I have 3 of these type of ariel mounting points on the roof of the bay.
​​​​​​

All 3 could do with replacing. I've tried the usual places, ebay, swap meets etc. but haven't found anything similar.
I don't believe they are VW specific mounts so would anyone know either where I might source them or would anyone have a few sitting around their garage?

Probably easier just to fit completely new ones. Why have you three aerials?

 

[Rez]

I don't want to fit new (modern) ones. I'm hoping someone might recognise what I've posted and might be able to say that they were from an old ford/merc etc

Not sure why it had 3 ariels on the roof. That's some of the history I've been searching for.
It actually had 4 if you include the dash radio one.

Oh your keeping the RTE look of the van!
I don't know what types they are but the one on the left looks like most aerials from that period while the other one looks like it might of been for broadcasting with like CB radio maybe Mickey can find something in work for you.

I can probably machine them up of you Rez, if you can't source them.
Best make them out of aluminium: no rust running down your new shiny paint....

Thanks for the offer Stump.
I'm sure I'll find something that suits.


Brian, yea, I'm planning on keeping all the RTE bits.
That's whats makes this van unique.
