Title: Aceca Antenna
Post by: Aceca289 on June 16, 2011, 06:46:12

The antenna on my Aceca broke off where the shaft meets the base. This I believe can be fixed; however, the flathead slot for the screw at the pivot point was deformed and could not be tightened or loosened so it needed to be drilled out. I see two solutions:
   
   1.  Does anyone know of where I can get a replacement antenna? New old stock / used / from another car of the era that used the same antenna. Can anyone name some other cars that used the same antenna?
   
   2.  Does anyone have an old broken antenna with a good pivot screw that I can use to piece my antenna back together?
   
   Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.  My poor Aceca looks out of place with her stinger missing. [:(]
   
   Thanks,
