I looked at this auction a couple of days ago but \'pick up only\' put me off... Also, are they genuine 1st gen aerials ? Because if not, they are a nightmare to wire into the existing centre console switch

Ian they look as if they are, I have just contacted the seller to ask if he will post them if he does not sell the lot.   As you say its the pick up within 24 hrs that is putting me off.

any aftermarket aerial is easy to wire up to the switch...

They have 3 wires - one to earth, one to the switch, and another to a live feed - the one for the boot light is fine for that :)

if it\'s a universal fit aftermarket aerial it will, but if it\'s a factory fitted aerial off a car other than a 1st gen rx7 it is anything but easy to fit to the switch / relay.
Even other generation RX7 aerials are a complete b**** to wire in.
I\'d want to know where these aerials on ebay originated from before I bought them.
If they are aftermarket and that\'s what you want, then go for it.....
if they are factory fitted to another model other than a 1st gen, leave them alone
If they are the genuine article, then you\'re sorted.
