Mondeo Aerial

Hi my aerial has snapped off. How easy is it to change the whole lot?

Thanks in advance Simon

where has it snapped off?, the mondeo aeriel masts should screw off the base, so if there is a bit of the aeriel left you should be able to just replast the mast.

Have you tried drilling into the end of the broken thread and using an eeziout? I think the thread is only brass so should be easy to drill.

easy to drill, but akward to drill straight when the base is in the middle of the roof.
