I found a really nice one. It's still very soft.

This is the one I don't have a great sample of.  The one I have has a few groove marks on the underside from the grounding ring.

If the mast could be reproduced with the correct tip it would be a no-brainer to have at the very least 100 reproduced. What is the cost per unit? I had forgotten about the seal ring under the retainer. I hope that along with the cap Nix can reproduce this part. With the mast and the rubber parts correct restoration of an antenna for the early Z will be possible.

Steve - I'll send you the rubber part from my picture. Is there anything else needed for the antenna?

I'd also be interested in several sets.

For the mast, the tip and how the cord attaches on top are the only different things. The tip will fit the reproduction mast. The upper rubber and chrome cap seem hard to find in good condition. Beyond my discription I posted on replacing the cord and rebuilding the motor

I worked my magic and have these ready to reproduce.  One is plastic and  the other is rubber plus the small finisher nut rubber seal.

Should be about a week before I get some samples ready.

I will update once I get them finished.

I would like two complete sets, these parts along with the retainer nut cap piece. Thanks for making these available!
