Bee Sting Aerial
I am looking for a bit of advice. I have found a Bee Sting Aerial in my garage from previous project, I was wondering if you guys could tell me the preferred routing for the cable from the roof to the front of the car. Thanks in advance.

Re: Bee Sting Aerial
I shall assume that you have a powered one?
If that's the case, I'd route it down the passenger side then onto the aerial, if only to keep the wiring all running hte same route. It'll also mean less cable for hte power pickup if you're taking it straight off the fuse box.

Yes it is a powered one, so down the passenger side it will go, which is the best rout to run the wire down the A B or C pillar?
Re: Bee Sting Aerial
I did this on my GT over 10 years ago. I took it down the C-pillar. I ended up removing the side glass to unstick the trim. But it was a doddle getting the co-axial cable down there once I had put a draw wire down first. DO take care when taking the headlining down when you undo it from the tailgate apperture under the seal. It can be very brittle and rip easily.
Once I had the cable into the boot, I just ran it straight under the carpet in the middle of the car where the hump is. Because there are gaps where the gear lever and handbrake are, it helps in getting it through and you are going directly to the centre console and radio apperture.

Re: Bee Sting Aerial
Thanks for the pointers the C pillar is the way forward, I have a nylon draw cable that sounds ideal for helping the cable through. Thanks again.
