I was given a Mag mount 1m whippy that sadly someone has removed with a knife/saw..
Can I buy just the base bit pictured with the lead attached?

What does it look like if you take the nut and washer off.

It's just a threaded bar about 1/4 inch long for mounting, it connects through the mag plate.

How did the coax connect in there. Have you got a picture.

You can see what's left of the coax in the first pic, it's been cut through...
Edit to add pic of what it should look like...
I have the base and whippy, I just need the connector and cable... it's not a big deal, it looks cool on the car and 2 whippy's are better then 1 (even though only 1 is connected)
