[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] ANTENNA REPAIR
Kirby responded to my antenna repair E-mail with: >You can get grass string cutter string up to .130. What size did you try? >Do you think the .130 might work, or should I pull the suggestion from the >book? I went to my local Home Depot/Home Base. They didn't carry the larger diameter string, so I tried a smaller diameter (I think about 0.080 in.) sensing that it likely would not work well. It didn't. The main problem was it was stiff enough when coiled into the tight end of the coil guide that it popped out between the guides and jammed. I think having a material that (a) is reasonably flexible, (b) is tough enough to stand repeated uncoiling and coiling, and (c) has an o.d. near 0.125 are all important. The polyethylene I used met these criteria. I see no reason why grass cutter sting would not work, but the o.d. needs to be close to 0.125 in. Dan Jensen, San Diego, CA '81 & '83 XJ6 '84 XJS
