HELP - Anyone know where i can get antenna like this from
Hopefully someone can shed some light
My bug has a old rubber antenna that i want to get rid of but has a hole drilled into the bonnet :cussing
Ive seen some old Valiant and Falcon XP's around with these old school antennas
They look similar to this:

Except the spring is more like a tornado shape similar to this picture but not as thick
Anyone know ive searched the net to no avail and rung old classic car shops but they say try repco etc but no avail

the tornado shaped spring was often used on whip antenna for CB radios. check out a communications shop.
If it aint broke,
