They're all to do with British gas systems, tracker, computers, etc. I disconnected all the BG wiring from mine and removed the antenna. Then bonded some plates to the underside, filled and painted the outside.

I have the same although only the studs and cables left behind. They are quite high quality setup and can be used for a number of different purposes, just a pity they are all on the side of the van...

Any resale value for these antennas or is it old technology?

Just ordered some 13.5mm silicon bungs for mine in blue that matches the van so I can get rid of mine.

Nice one mate, what diameter did you go for?

Took the antennas off earlier then realised I'm left with holes that could let water into the roof lining, so there's a bit of duck tape over them at the minute πŸ˜‚

Roof rails going on tomorrow evening 😎
