Ok. So now after successfully completing the job of mounting a bike rack on the draw bar I`ve moved on to the next mod.
I had to remove my jerry can holder to make way for the bikes on the draw bar, and with that I lost my bracket to mount the tv antenna. My van didn`t come with the in built tv antenna. I`ve picked up an external antenna that needs to be mounted outside.
So over the last couple of days, I purchased some more steel [30mm x 30mm] square tube and made up a design that wouldn`t interfere with my bike rack and other mechanisms around the draw bar.
I made up, and welded a bracket to my bike rack, that I now simply slide my two piece tv antenna into.
See attached pics.
THE BRACKET WELDED TO BIKE RACK.
THE BRACKET WITH TWO PIECE ANTENA POLE & ANTENA.
TV reception was perfect at home.
Heading down to Green Patch Jervis Bay this weekend, will see how it goes out there in holiday land.
