Morris Minor Owners Club

I read an older discussion regarding this and wondered if all the instructions were the same.

The front wires for the headlining I have identified but reference is made too the interior light being removed to help access. Having a Traveller does this differ from either the saloon or commercial vehicles?

Any advice appreciated.

all the later mogs are all the same in that area

On a Traveller the interior light is just behind the joint between front and rear roof parts. There is no need to remove it for access to the front part. The saloons have the light over the centre of the windscreen, which is why it's easier to remove it.

of course sorry about that never had a trav

Fitting a roof aerial to a saloon with the interior light above the windscreen means that there is already an access hole and you do not have to further damage the headlining

Hi,
I fitted one of these rather than drill holes in the car, an amplified internal aerial, stuck to the top of the rear windscreen you hardly notice it.
It works just as good as an external aerial (IMO) in terms of reception and doesn't advertise that you've got a radio fitted.
I ran the wires under the headlining and along the internal gutter above the doors that the roof lining sits in, finally down inside the A post (following the same route as the headlining tensioning wire), out under the dash and along to the radio.
Just an idea...........

Best wishes,
Mike.

If it's any help, I fitted a Blaupunkt Autofun aerial on the inside to the b post of our traveller. It is a disc about 50mm in diameter and is very discreet. The reception is fine and I was able to hide the wiring behind the cant rail fished through with a wire pull through. If you look for it under make and model you will come across it.

Thank you for the suggestions re internal aerials but the intention is to fit an external one.

Do i have to remove the front half of the headling to fit an external aerial, and if so what does this entail on a Traveller. Alternatively is their an easier way?
For reference I intend to fit the radio below the passenger side glove box, back far enough to avoid being hit by the door when lowered.

Any help appreciated.
