Perrin shorty evo antenna

funny . . . i had a perrin and it fit perfect and now ive got an S2000 and theres an 1/8th inch gap. Either way its simple to fix. If you cant adjust the depth of the screw (which you can on some) then simply get a black rubber 0-ring, the type they use for standard kitchen faucets and roll it down the antenna till it drops into the gap between antenna and base.

the o-ring really does make it look almost perfect, although i found you cant adjust the set screw in the s2000 antenna
