Most of the popular radio equipment drawings I have loaded long ago on my photo web site at http://miljeepradios.mypicgallery.com/ to get the largest edition of the drawing you must click first on the thumbnails and then click on the larger version displayed at the top right of the page and a pop-up window will appear with the larger drawing..

Hi,
In order to make a nice repro antenna, try to do a CAD drawing and let someone to cut with a laser cutting machine, the work will be clean and perfect. Wes Knettle's drawing was the basis to start doing the design of the bracket.
If you are patient, maybe you can reproduce all curves, bends, holes...but you certainly will need a press at some instance to do the sharp bends on the corners.
Mine is already finished and painted, looks 100% like the original (has NO difference at all) and has costed much less than the one is being listed on ebay for $150 bucks. Send me your e-mail, I'll send photos to you of the reproduction.
Best!
