why don't you just cut the stock one down and cut off the ball and glue it back on to whatever height you choose to cut the stocker down to? That way you can have one in the mean time

To attach it permanently I would just tighten the mother living **** out of it lol.. Try to use tools to do it because whoever took it prolly just got a good grip on it and got it off if it was on tight by hand before

Sorry your antenna got jacked dude. I would try a dab of superglue on the inside just a little. This way it will be tight and you could remove with tools but it would be too tight to twist off by hand. You know just a little extra bond in there.

Im curious to know though, does the bitviper antenna fit on the stock mounts or no?

I just ordered a stocker from a fellow tech member, to do away with my power unit because im tired of the huge RC car look and I actually listen to my radio quite often so wiring it to a switch was not something I wanted to opt for.

use red-loctite. It will keep it on there tight and will require tools to remove it. Dont use JB weld unless you are certain you will never have to remove it again, because you will have to cut it off.

Until it breaks, and it will if you use it a lot which is why I went your route: stock camaro base and mast and then I can switch between short, medium, or long masts if I am traveling. My car stays covered so it takes 2 seconds to unscrew them when she gets put away,
