[Milsurplus] Re DAG sense antenna measurements

[Brian Harrison]

GM Mike,

The OD of the bottom-most antenna shaft element looks to be 0.3725 in or 9.45mm

The height of the spark plug cover is .9945 in or 25.27 mm (shrunk a bit and hardened over time)
and the ID of the cover at the radio end is slightly over .80 or 20.5 mm
(measured on the radio, my cover is warped)

The length of the banana plug tip is .75 in or 19 mm
The width of the banana plug tip “flat to flat” is .2455 in or 6.4 mm

Let me know if you need anything else

best,
brian

The antenna looks a bit larger in diameter than the usual automotive antenna, but for a temporary replica it probably would matter much.  What I thought was a sleeve above the boot is obviously simple an aluminum label.
