I ground 2 flats on a deep 7mm socket so a 10mm spanner fitted, the antenna thread size is 6mm
With a 6mm bolt and a 6mm screw joiner, sawed the head off the bolt and cut a slot in it, drilled the side of the joiner and tapped a 3mm thread in it. screwed the headless bolt onto the antenna base with a spring washer on it, then screwed the joiner over the headless bolt tightenend with a pipe grip.
Screwed antenna into joiner and tightened set screw that now goes all the way through the antenna thread
Now antenna easy to get off, and will never come loose and get lost.:yes:
