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

[JC]

Discussed ad InfinitiG35 indeed.

My carbon-fiber-brass-stainless homebrew mast is still going great. Although
it's not OEM look it works WAAAYYYY better (full deets and pics in the QW
FAQ... possibly still lurking around on the AW FAQ too although I might
block their photo links some day just to be petty).

But that doesn't solve the problem of a base. (And "stock springs are so
RANCHO" type snobs will hate it for looking too uncool as well.) The
solution must lie in translating some VW / porsche / Honda / etc.  roof base
with similar mounting hole... the benefit of that will be once you've
converted you are clean past the 6mm problem..

Actually just ocurred to me - wonder if the antenna base from my E46
converto might qualify... it looks very Fuba-similar to OEM.  If I have time
I'll see if its easy to unbolt and compare to the Avant antenna... of course
that might not make for a cheap fix...
