Correct Name for Antenna Mounting Nut?
I hope the picture posts.
This is the nut/connector holding the antenna to the antenna outer body bezel on an 87. The thing is broken at the bottom where it supports the antenna.
I have no idea what the parts books call it. I'm afraid it's discontinued any way. I've looked at Corvette Central, Ecklers, Zip with no luck.
I'm guessing if I get one it will be part of a used antenna.
I'm starting to think about putting it back together to see if it really needs it.
Thanks for any advice.

You can get an antenna bezel for about $18 and/or a replacement antenna mast with the mast nut for about $100. Check it out.

i think i have one of those things in a parts box - somewhere - ??? seems to me, and it's been many years since i've replaced the antenna on my 85, but as i recall, it has very coarse threads that screwed onto the antenna bezel and secured the power antenna to the body panel, and then, a lower bracket secured the antenna assembly to the frame. what do you call it - ??? - hell, i don't know - ??? try "corvette, 84-87, antenna, body outer bezel, lower antenna, panel mounting, UNC thread, underbody, ring retainer jam nut locking fastener" -
