I'll be putting a period radio and console in the 3A. Does anyone have a clever idea for mounting the antenna without having to drill any holes in the body?

Ive got an e type coupe with a cheap rubber antenna stuffed under the passenger seat. I was going to buy one of those hidden FM antennas but was suprised how well the rubber one works without drilling holes in the body.

Why not go IPOD?

The radio and console wont be needed and you won't have to install the antenna.

My TR3 will have two ipods when complete.

Cheers.

I had the same issue in my MGA.
I found an antenna (on ebaymotors )that mounts to the windshield with a black box that measures about 4 inches long and is power assisted with a 12 volt hook up. It does seem to work pretty good.
