1978 Corvette CB Antenna
Hello all... Does anyone know where a CB antenna mast repair kit can be purchased for a March 7th built 1978 Pace car? I tried to install a standard Power Antenna mast repair kit but it was too short. Can anyone offer me a little help? Thanks, Rick

Rick-----
The last available mast kit for your application, GM #22010412, was discontinued in June, 1992. It is currently replaced by COMPLETE antenna kit GM #12355706. This unit should serve as a functional replacement for you. However:
1) Will it be 100% "correct" and identical to the original? I seriously doubt it;
2) It carries a current GM list price of $302.74In Appreciation of John Hinckley -

Rick - If I understand correctly you are looking for the plastic spline that connects to the bottom of the antenna shaft and is wound around the motor as the antenna retracts. That is still available from GM dealers or outside sources such as Corvette America. In Corvette America's catalog it is P/N 33962 ($27.99). I hope this helps.

Hey Rick...nothing special to a 78 Pace Car power antenna repair. Jacques has got the right suggestion. Have not seen this issue arise among 78 owners.
Do keep that original power antenna actuator (power unit)...it's difficult to find those original all alloy bodies and they can be rebuilt. Had mine done so I know. If you buy a new actuator (power antenna unit) they are made of plastic as in 1979 which becomes the service replacement for 1978s.Tom Russo
