Many thanks Peter, understood.
I was just a bit nervous as the posted pictures in this discussion were looking a bit longer than what mine was going to look like...must just be the perpsective of the pics. Right....50mm from the base of the screw end it is.

Having read the posts with interest and having shortened the cable, can I please clarify the point at which the aerial mast will be cut. I have the 19mm exposed coax and inner aerial post and therefore need to cut the mast to 50mm.
Therefore, do I understand correctly, if I unscrew the aerial and lay it down, that when cut the entire bit left will be 50mm? This will obviously include the screw-on post section so tip to tip 50mm, with the screw-on section being 10mm of that, leaving 40mm of wire?
Or, is it 50mm of the thin “wire” aerial on top of the screw on post?
Have seen the earlier confusion with where to cut.
Thanks
Derek
