R60 Stubby Antenna

Stubby Antenna
I ordered a bunch of parts from Outmotoring.com, including a carbon fiber stubby antenna.

For some reason, none of the available threaded inserts fit the base where the antenna screws in. It's supposed to be a black 5/8" piece, but while that fits the new antenna, it won't fit in the base.
There's a brass fitting with the proper two different thread sizes, but it's too long.
Outmotoring's customer service has been great working with me and hasn't given up yet, but I was wondering if anyone else has had the problem.

Ha. Just had the same issue with a craven speed stubby. Literally just yesterday. But it only came with 1 insert that was too big. But the antenna had a two step threaded hole and the upper step was the correct thread. So I had a bolt that was also the correct thread and cut it down to fit just perfect into the antenna and into the antenna base. Took me 5 minutes. And she's all good now.

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about just cutting down the brass threaded two size piece included in the package that was too long. ECS seems to be on top of the problem as shown in the picture below. The threaded part I need is the one on the far right.

Even though you found something that works Drivehard, I would be glad to send you any hardware you need.

Ps. in the car biz. I know when a problem is a problem and when it's not. This was not a problem
