The second view with the cutie holding it is not realistic....because the antenna is much longer and harder when she is holding it Couldn't resist.

 

As the title of the thread says, "ahhhh...that's better".

 

Get a Saturn antenna from a 99 model and a 5mm to 6mm conversion screw. My brother replaced his antenna so while over at his place I checked to see if it would fit. It does. Though the reception is not affected one way or the other.

 

Awesome SB! Now where do I get that conversion adapter?

I am definitely going to do this!

 

The screw is nothing more than a double ended stud with different sizes. I'm not sure where one can be purchased. Maybe an autoparts store, fastener supply or something similiar. You may also want to look around and see if Chevy, Ford or another make have an antenna like ours where the stud is on the antenna instead of the base. It'll keep your from having to find a stud. Just look around the parking lot at work and grab an antenna from another vehicle to try it out.

 

Ex-Honda guy here. Best prices on Honda parts are from this site.

For the S2K antenna 15.99, very great place.

link doesnt work

 

My local dealer sells theres fo 15.99, now I just need to get over there during service hours so I won't have to pay shipping

 

Added mine yesterday, like so far.

 

Here's mine with the MINIs on Top ball for good measure.

Note that the MINI audio system utilizes the rear window defroster to augment the external aerial. Here in Beantown, w/ strong signals, I've actually left my external off.

I paid $22.99, at my local dealer, wish it was $15!

 

anyone else feel guilty about putting parts from another car on their MINI?

 

nope. not in the least. just get the right tool for the job.

you should have seen the frankenstein that my DIY turbo miata was....
