Arial question please

[geordie]

Sorry this is, i think a stupid question however hear goes
what side do you put a arial on the front panel.

does in matter if your a rhd or a lhd

Yours stupidly geordie

on my RHD bus the aerial is on the left side - maybe there is a marginal visiblity consideration to having it on the kerbside...

 

[Bobster]

On my current LHD it's on the RHS but on my previous RHD it was on the LHS so I'm guessing it is sided, don't know why though.

LHD on the RHS for me don't think it matters to much bud what side is your aerial connection on your stereo??

Majority I've seen are handed......

RHD = LHS Aerial.
LHD = RHS Aerial.

Probably so it doesn't impair vision at all.

I have a '71 which is RHD and the aerial is on the left.
I also have a '68 which is LHD and the aerial is on the right.

So I would say, mostly, they are handed (although the actual aerial fitment is the same).

Cheers.

I put mine on the outside.

I have a RHD with the aerial on the right hand side and it`s mostly hidden by the pillar. It is very handy when I need to pop the thing down to get in the garage and to pop him back up when I`m driving down the street, as I can reach it while driving along. Also if you go to any super low car parks, if your aerial can can get in then so can you If your aerial touches then you need to get out and have a damn good look. It looks as if this was fitted from the get go, but who knows, and this was a panel once upon a time so may not even have had a radio as extras were hens teeth on commercial vehicles most of the time.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,,, So none the wiser really :lol: :lol:

 

[sparkywig]

I've had buses with them on either side, it's up to you which you prefer.

 

[samgopsill]
