Replacing Antenna



Esteemed AudiphileS:

The Hirschmann antenna in my '90 V8Q went south last week.  I pulled it 
out..the white, toothed continuous snake-like thing which pushes the 
shaft up has become un-continuous.  I bought a Harada antenna at an auto 
parts store and it will probably work if in can figure out what to do 
with the antenna (coax) cable.  The Hirchmann has a female threaded 
fitting onto which the cable is attached.  The Harada just has a log 
cable with the typical male-ended radio connector.  

Is there a way to adapt the existing fitting or do I need to fish the 
cable through the car to wherever that female receptacle is?

TIA for your help.
