Antenna Mast w/8mm connection?

[bteeter]

Aloha,

I just picked up a used 1994 Camaro Z28 and its missing the antenna mast. No problem right? I went down to Napa bought a universal antenna mast kit and none of the adapters or the mast itself fits. Apparently I have an odd size.

When I took it in for an oil change the mechanic said it was an 8mm stud for the antena, and he has no idea where to find a mast that would fit.

I've tried looking around online but no one seems to publish the sizes of mast connectors. Searching for the specific car and model I get links for power antenna's that definitely are not right.

Any ideas on where I should look next?

Score 1 for Bruce!

GMPartsDirect rocks. If there's any OEM specific parts I need for my Pontiac I always order there.

Wow, thanks! How did you/do you know that is the right one. The description for that part is rather, well, non-existant.

I stopped buying there - shipping charges are crazy.

I located it by doing a simple search. You can call your local GM dealer, give them the part #. The dealer computer can tell which cars it will fit. But it is just a straight mast with an 8mm thread and should be just fine.
