Anyone use one. I see autoloc makes one and someones got one on ebay that they claim is the same as autoloc. Going to shave my son's antenna, old one is broke anyway.

I mounted the antenna on my old 70 Chevy under the cowl sideways, had to support it with some vacuum hose to keep it from rattling around. It worked just as good as mounting it on the fender.

On the vega I have two systems. One old Kraco with cassete, then an alpine in the glove box. The Kraco runs one center speaker on an antena hidden under the dash behind the glove box. The alpine is wired to the stock antena mount. Both pick up stations about the same. But for some reason the Kraco doesnt sound as clear? :D

Picked up an 8 track for it too.

I got an extra set of fenders last week. Took the antenna out drilled holes to mount on inside fender and have antenna run along inside of the fender so I can have the stock hole welded up. Not that I listen to the radio much, but still nice to have.
