[s-cars] Looking for a part - Avant Antenna

[Bill Mahoney]

Peter et. al.

IME the replacement avant antenna has been discussed ad nauseum with no
definitive answer.

I gave up.  

Scraped off all the old flaking, powdery insulation and just
reconstructed/coated it in silicone. 

I got a new gasket I think from ECS and a mast from ebay that has a too
small thread pitch, but inserting a thin brass shim makes it tight.

This is a beyond frankenAntenna solution but worked for me.

The problem is finding a new mount with a connector that fits into the box
below the roof there.

I don't know if this mast might work?  It's prolly too small but would work
with a shim as described above.

If anyone has a complete solution, i.e. new mount, new antenna mast, and a
connector that plugs right in, .I'm in!

 

Good luck to all of us!

We need it.
