in both my t4 and b4 i have the full antenna, but my tube is half the length of the wire, i just folded the wire down along the side, and used shrink wrap around the antenna wire and tube, works great, fits under the body of my t4 perfectly, and is just about as tall as the wing on the b4, of course i used antenna caps on both....have yet to have any issues with glitching or anything.
