Becker Amplifier Bracket?

[koan]

Is the power antenna cable (blue) encased in a loom, or is it just strung across there by itself? Mine has been cut off behind the radio itself, so I need to work out where it would have originally gone. I like your RF attenuation methods. 

All the cables to the amp, the input and power cable, speakers and antenna control are separate from the chassis loom.

The cable in the forground with a couple of cable ties on it is the multicore cable from the radio that carries power, ground and audio to the amp, it plugs into the amp with a mutipin DIN connector, it also has a spade connector that pushes on to a lug bent out of the case.

The lead that controls the antenna is just a single wire with a spade lug that plugs into one of (either one) the recessed insulated spade lugs on the amp. The antenna itself gets it power from the chassis loom down the back.

I was pretty confident my RF suppression would do the job, it is better but not as good as I expected.. Not visible in the pic are about a dozen ferrite cores threaded on speaker and other leads. I'll try something else one day.

Carl,

No luck with that bracket yet. 
It's strange how uncommon they are. I'll ask the guy next time I'm there, as, much to everyone's surprise, he had a rather large collection of Becker Mexico's.
Just out of interest, was yours installed the same location as mine? There doesn't seem to be enough clearance for my amp to fit without fouling the blower unit.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for looking and yes, I wonder where they have all gone!!! No, my car did not have the Becker installed when I purchased it, so I put one in.  There are three mounting holes on the topside of PS the lower air duct designed specifically for the Becker amp cradle, you can see them here.  Mine is a series 1 280 SE, 1974, maybe they changed the location for the later cars?

Regards,

Carl.
