328 Antenna Head Nut

I am considering producing the 328 (308?) antenna top nut. It will be made out of 7075 aluminum alloy and anodized black. The final price will be dependent on the number produced, but initial indications are about $40 each, plus shipping.

So how many of you are interested?

 

Picture?

If the cost is about $40, I would get one, just to have a really good one for showing the car.

 

Thanks. Very different than my QV.

 

OK that is two!

 

I am proceeding with this project, the finished nuts will be available in about 30 days. I will post a photo and final pricing at the time.

 

Here are photos of the finished product. The nut is made from 7075 Aluminum and anodized satin black. I will be selling them for $33.75 each, plus shipping, 15 are available. If you are interested send me a PM for PayPal details.

Almost forgot, with this nut plus the gasket and spacer from Verell a complete antenna head set is now available for your 308/328.

 

How can I get the gasket and spacer?

 

Contact Verell on this board, he runs Unobtainium Supply. Here is a photo of his parts.

Also, for the nut I will be using the USPS Flat Rate Small Box for shipping in the US at $4.95. So the total for the nut and US shipping will be $38.70 - such a deal!

Gerry,

That nut looks FANTASTIC! I may need to buy 2!

 

Yep, very pleased how they came out. What is also interesting is how much lighter the new nut is vs the original. That 7075 aluminum alloy is amazing.

 

13 remain. I posted the nut for sale on eBay for $49.95, including shipping.

 

I know the is an old post, but does anyone have any idea where the antenna nut may be available?

 

Gerry,

Do you have any more of those nuts?

This is an unexpected blast from the past. Sorry, they are gone.

 

Make a new batch, and I'll buy a set.

 

Me too! Verrell was supposed to make me the black escutcheon and gasket but so far not received! I'm going to show it a the BaT reunion tomorrow with a carriage bolt holding the antenna. Boo hoo.
