Outside antena or windshield inclusion ?

Saw that on eBay: is the external rear antena a normal feature ?
Mine is included in the windshield.

Yes indeed. Tried to polish mine, but the transparency is whitening from inside the plastic.
I got a Nos speedomeeter 6 month ago on e bay again, and it is a pain that it does not shine as it should through a brand new glass !

After that (if I win), just need to find a new black dash cover and I will stop with the interior rebuild ! (we all say the same....) :Brow:

 

It wasa nice piece...... I just had one hour to go before the end of the bid, and for this particular item, I wanted to play the sniper and wait behind my keyboard. Then I went to show how to play some guitar riffs to my sons, and when I remembered, it was too late by four minutes. I am a damned idiot. :rant: :rant: :rant:
In the other hand, my glass is not that bad. Just that I was drooling at a real new one....well, I saved 38$ that I will turn into wine to forget :laugh:

I guess I wont see similar items passing on eBay for a while....

 

What did you use to polish yours? I used plastic polish for dash lenses and taillight lenses and it did a nice job. The clock lens in my 68 Wildcat was so white that it was hard to see through and it became very clear after I polished it with plastic/stainless polish.

 

I used aluminium polish (a very fine one supposed to turn aluminium into chrome aspect) and it worked well for the speedo glass. But for the clock, it was whitening and fogging inside the plastic, and I did a new one out of a piece of new pexiglass...cutting the same size, drilling the little hole exacty where it should be, with the right diameter. But now that I ordered a new clock, I offer my home made glass for free for who ever wants it ! If you feel able to cleanly replace it using a screwdriver to open the tongues and pliers to put them back, it is better than new.
