I've ordered from several places, only to have them email me that it's not available.

Is there another bracket that has worked for anyone? Or another option?

Thanks!

Might check in the parts section on here or a local junkyard. If you just need the bracket you should be able to get one off any car. You can get a new antenna at auto zone. I did that but reused the stock bracket since the bracket it came with wasn't as good a fit.

Thanks for the reply. I've thought about checking a junkyard. I rarely listen to the radio but have forgotten, twice now, to power off the radio when going through the carwash and it was broken. Figured I'm safer with a stubby one. And I rarely go through carwashes! I ordered one on EBay but need a bracket yet.

You should be able to ask for the part off a Camaro. I recall that they all came with a fixed antenna.

I tried 2 auto salvage places here, but no luck. I found this site called SeekAutoParts.com, what a joke. You input what you're looking for and within minutes I had 3 calls, from Indian men, saying they had the antenna but would not sell just the bracket. They wanted $75 and up. Yeahhhh, ok.

Another option is to post in the WTB section.

Is it just the bracket? You can probably make a replacement.

Im going to a junkyard or 2 close to me for other reasons, but while Im there ill check for an antenna bracket, I live in Hanover so not far from you.

MSTZ TA

That would be awesome, thanks!

MSTZ TA

Yes, for the quick fix, but my friend who will be doing the work, may be able to make something, if we can't find the bracket.

Looks like 97ramsst is able to hook me up with the bracket! Thanks for the guidance, everyone!

that's good, every yard I went to today either the car had a power antenna or the antenna bracket wasn't there.

Dos you try one of the yards that specialize in F Bosy cars, like Cleveland Pick-a-Part?

So that GN part wasn't needed afterall. My friend took the power unit out and cut the line from it. We got a "universal" antenna at AutoZone. It wasn't universal though, because it only came with a male end and since we have the male end of the antenna, that wouldn't work. He cut the female end off power unit and spliced to universal line. Plugged into my antenna line and it worked!! So glad!! Thanks for all the replies to help!

I had the same issue, you can also get the Metra 40-UV41 adapter which is a female to female.

We were looking for a Fe - Fe adapter but of course wanted it right then and AutoZone didn't have it. Thanks!

You don't need it. We used a universal antenna, which has the base for the antenna and then spliced the end. But infinitebird stated below that you can get a Metra 40-UV41 adapter which is a female to female, so no splicing needed. I'm just waiting for my stubby antenna to come but the universal one isn't too bad.
