Codan 9350 Aerial Installation Manual

Ho Graham,
I do have full set of manuals for my Codan 9230, although not readily accessible. I can get them if needed. From my experience, the spring is not part of the antenna, but part of the aerial mast. I have 3 replacements of different lengths and they all have the spring on them. They need to be turned with some sort of gripping device. The tunable antenna should just have a threaded section on top which screws up into the spring section.
Bear in mind my model may vary.

Let me know if you don't resolve it and I will get out the manuals.

Hello Graham, the spring unscrews just like the antenna does, we use a big pair of locking jaw pliers on them.
The other option is to use a antenna like the Barrett uses and use a small adaptor to convert the thread, the Codan uses a large thread and the Barrett uses a standard 5/16 thread and don't use the spring.

Regards Richard

Phantom is correct. The spring will usually come off by holding it in a vice (carefully) and turning the base by hand.
The manual won't tell you this, from memory.
The spring is not really needed unless you are going to thump trees and servo lights. There is some suggestion that over time that the spring may damage the seal on the end of the 9350, but I haven't seen or heard of one doing this.
Many people use them without the spring, but I have a habit of forgetting its there when getting fuel at the end of a tiring day :))

Thanks Fellas Just didnt want to stuff by getting onto it with a stilson or similar but now I know will try removing it gently. Thought it must come off as I saw a car with one removed today and the Codan site shows the spring as a seperate part.
Didnt get the earth strap for it either so $57 later have got one. Strange its silver Thought it would probably be a goldy colour. LOL

Hi Graham,
The bottom of the spring has a female thread.
Ah memories!!
