Locking nut for electric aerial mast

Technical Area Electrics & ICE

Hi,
just bought my first MX5 today, a 97 1.8 Dakar. It was fitted with an electric aerial when new and someone nicked the mast by unscrewing the lock nut and took the lock nut as well. I have found the replacement masts for sale but they do not come with a locking nut. I don’t fancy spending 70-100 quid for a whole second hand motor (it sounds like it is working fine when you turn on the stereo) so does anyone have any suggestions on where I can get just the locknut?

Cheers,

Chris

http://www.mx5heaven.co.uk/ are probably worth a phone - they stock a whole host of new & used parts, and if they don’t have it, they might know somebody who will…

Failing that, try a local breakers yard

Thanks, I’ll give it a try.
