I'de be happy to organise a group buy for this style, I much prefer an angled one rather than straight up.

Looks like I could get 10 shipped to me in one box, which works out at $50 each.

I have the locustom shark attack 2. Works great, neatens the area and allows me to remove the heavy motor that extends the antenna.

Emily, you reckon you could do the group buy for a straight and angled style?

It looks like locustom are the ones with the most reliable antenna.

Not true regie, these are designed to sit is a 19mm hole, and are secured with a nut from the bottom.
They are an entire replacement unit, none of the factory aerial is reused, regardless of na6 fixed / na8/nb electric aerial.

I'll set up a group buy thread this arvo with more info.

Ah just looked it up, these weren't available when I had my nb. I had to change the base to attach the stubby antenna.
