the tornado shaped spring was often used on whip antenna for CB radios. check out a communications shop.

ive had them with a copper wound coil near the top, had one on my AP5 Valiant i had give great reception.

Ill try the melb shop and let u guys know

Unless someone finds one for me and ill buy it (ill pay top $$ if its good)

The tornado shape is found on John Deere Tractors except they are black on not chrome. If interested I could find out the thread as a John Deere Parts Boy
