Antennas - Radio & Cell Phone

[Charlie Smith <quattro@elektro.cmhnet.org>]

Here's one I'm sure has been covered again and again ... so I appologise
to the list right at the beginning.

What's a good source for Audi antennas?  I've got a '93 V8 Quattro
and need both the retractable AM/FM radio antenna and the cell phone
antenna that occupies the hole in the right rear fender.

The local Audi dealer claims that both of these are "no longer available".

The retractable AM/FM antenna looks like the same antenna that has
graced Audi fenders for years.  The thought occurs to me that on the 
'93 V8 it may not be original, because the front windshield appears 
to have antenna wire built in it ... and maybe that was the original
antenna, that got replaced by an antenna from a different year because
the windshield antenna didn't work very well?

In any event, what I need (at least) is the antenna mast that retracts,
lacking that I'll replace the whole antenna assembly with something
for which you can get spare parts in the future.

On the cell phone antenna - I'd happily put the cell phone antenna 
somewhere else, except then it will leave a hole in the fender.  
Does anybody know a source of cell phone antennas that mount through 
the fender?
