car aerial size

[pomoz]

G'day all
Long time no been here.

My question

I have a 87 Esprit .... with the car aerial on the passenger side front guard .....

Ever since i have had the car ...(6 years) the aerial didnt work (electric)... PO said that he had the relays pulled as it ... i cant remememebr if he said .. it went up and not down ....or it kept going up and down )

I have a new electric aerial.....
Though dont want to do the Lotus position...... ONLY TO FIND I HAVE GOT THE WRONG SIZE AERIAL TO START WITH !!!!!!!!!!!!

SO YOU GURUS ....... What is the size of the aerial ..... say from the top aerial motor .... to the length of aerial itself

I hope i have made myself ...understood
I know it would be easy to just pull the glovebox/carpet/drilling out covering plate .... to see what size it is.....
That is too much hassel
Seeing that .. it has all been done b4

Thanks Again as always
