Aerial base parts

Hi All - any help in locating replacement parts for the base of the aerial - the rubber and the plastic dome piece that goes under the stainless cup?
Also for the AWA radios that were fitted there is a small indicator hole on the right hand side over the knob which has a red light shining through - did they ever have a diamond dot time crystal on them or just the empty hole?

It looks OK, but I never thought telescopic car radio antennas went out of production. But come to think of it, I've never seen one on a car built after the mid '80s.

I was in the same boat. $15 at Rocca Bros last time I bought one.

Rares make one as well but the quality is hideous - Ive bought on of the cheap ones for now to pinch the black plastic bit from the bottom as it fits in ok and will see if I can epoxy repair the old plastic base and find a rubber at some point - the aerial itself is in great nick and works well - just that crappy plastic bit at bottom and rubber has deteriorated.
