I don't know about the W114, but all of my W123s have an
air-dielectric cable. It's a bugger to try to put connectors on it!
However, the connector at the antenna (on the W123s) is a critter I
have never seen anywhere else. The end at the radio is usually a
"Motorola" plug. The solderless ones that I have seen won't work well
with an air dielectric cable. The solder-type will work, but the
stripping the coax is a trip.

I hope the W114 is easier, for your sake!!

Maybe Kaleb has a spare in his yard...

Radio Shack would have the connector.  If it's the usual round, push-in
car radio antenna connector, it's called a "Motorola plug."  Installing
it will require a bit of soldering, though they *might* have a
solderless version.

The way to splice coax, really, is to put a connector on each of the
ends and connect them together with a barrel adapter.

So can I get a replacement or can I find the connector that goes to the radio 
somewhere? where would that somewhere be?

Lee asked about truck stop etiquette.

Well the Flying J stops are nice because they often seperate the auto fill 
islands from the truckers and often have good quality diesel at the islands. 
There are two size pump fill nozzles one I am going to guess is 1 inch od 
and the other 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch od for cars.  Often if you fill at the 
truck area you have to go in or use the local intecome as many do not take 
cards directly at the pump o turn it on.  The truck islands are set up for 
both sides of the truck (tank on each side) to be filled from two pumps one 
on either side of where you pull in.  They also give you a large industrial 
receipt.

I often get remarks from truckers who think my old MB diesel is nice of 
course I tell them the non turbo is the slowest car known to man, but once 
on the highway will give 150%.

The golden rule is the way to go and remember often busy truck stops have a 
good turn over of fuel.  I have only hooked into one bad batch of fuel and 
it blew out glow plugs and the car ran like trash.  This was in Port Jarvis 
NJ at Route 84 but is was not one of the thee truck stops there. hope this 
helps.  If you do not like cigarettes, tatoos, nascar, baseball caps and 
that sort of stuff get in and get out quickly.  If you do you can hob knob 
witht he best of em.

Yeap the antenna cable is coax thus splicing is a bi hard but not
impossible...

Hi all,

When those @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]([EMAIL 
PROTECTED]@($_! broke into my car and stole
the radio they broke the end of the antenna.

I've been looking online for a replacement cable but can't find one. Can I
just go to autozone or pepboys and pickup a cable? any particualr size
lenght end?...
