RS2 roof mounted aerial angle

[saltinot]

Here's another one of those little details that I need to work out. I have looked at a few pitcures of the aerial on RS2s and S2 avants and it looks like there is a difference.

I know Fuba produced two versions of the Betaflex-D, a 45 degree and a 60 degree. The RS2 appears to use the 45 degree version. Can someone confirm this for me??

My 94 RS2 has the 45 degree one my 94 S2 avant the 60 degree hth

That's exactly what I needed to know!

I'll order a new 45 degree Fuba aerial for my car this afternoon!

Thank you!

Does it really make that much difference which one you have though apart from keeping the OEM look to the extreme?

From what ive seen of Toms RS2 project its `got to be` 100% accurate

[madwolf_Uk]

Ah right, thats fair play then

"If you're going to do it, you might as well to it right" or the negative spin "If you're not going to do it right, then don't do it at all"

Yep, I need to be correct. The goal is to build a factory correct RS2, something we Americans never got. I've spent thousands $$ and over 5 years of traveling Europe in search of the correct parts for this project. I certainly wouldn't spoil it with a 60 degree Fuba.

Just maybe hang on for one of the other RS2 guys to confirm 100%

[madwolf_Uk]

Fair play to ya, and thats serious dedication there

Someone's nicked the roof aerial off the S6!

Does anyone know the best way of replacing it? Will the Betaflex-D fit and if so where can I source one?

thanks

Thanks Stefano! I was able to source a new one. It was one of the first things I put on after the car came home from the paint shop.

Yes, it will fit. I'm assuming that they only took the mast? If so, you should still be able to get the replacement masts from Audi or an aftermarket source.

There are plenty of masts available on the 'bay or from Amazon but some are rubbish. In particular don't be tempted by a short(er) one or you'll get p poor radio reception.
