Aerial hole diameter??
I'm removing the aerial from my Rev 4 and will be blanking it until I source an S2000 one.
Anyone know the hole diameter in the wing?

Re: Aerial hole diameter??
it will be oval, so maybe tricky to find something.

im interested to know what others suggest though.

.its about a 15mm i think, was bunged over with a blanking grommet on my car when i bought it




Re: Aerial hole diameter??
it isnt round, though if you can get away with a round grommet then happy days.

Re: Aerial hole diameter??
you can buy a new aerial grommet from Toyota which you could then modify to close off, esp if only required for a short period of time as it wont have to be perfect but rather just watertight

thats a good idea.

i guess use a bit of sealant to keep it in place, as itll just be loose with no aerial unit.

then pop a round grommet in the original one!



Re: Aerial hole diameter??
Why not just leave the aerial in until you get the other one?


And is Jim says, the hole isn't round.

The mast is snapped and has resulted in a few cut hands when walking past, mine included.
It's also corroded and is a bit of an eyesore.

ah that's a problem needing fixing, if for no reason to stop someone trying to sue you for a cut hand.
I think the part number is 86392-17080
for the seal and 86396-20030 for the nut

Thought I'd have a go this afternoon.

Pulled the old aerial out, turned out to be a cheap knock-off one.
The hole in the wing was around 31mm x 25mm.
I had a few blanking grommets
(1", 7/8"
& 3/4") so tried the 1" directly into the wing.
There was a fair bit of vertical play so I opted not to go with that.


Got the original grommet from the aerial unit, and a 3/4" grommet was a tight squeeze, but once in wasn't moving.
So that's what I've done.
Grommet into aerial grommet, into wing.
Theres a thin layer of silicone between all mating surfaces to try keep it all watertight.
Looks a lot tidier than before, and less of a hazard.

Anyways, pics.

You can see the old mast in this photo, snapped and won't fully retract.
Also very sharp.

Nice work!

Exactly what I suggested above and looks great.

I may well take my own advise
and do the same!
