If you check on eBay, there are plenty of generic [i.e. non-OEM] aerials for sale to fit the SVX. Cheap enough too.

It should fit is my best guess.

Are you aware the SVX also has an extra aerial built into the rear screen? You can see it at the top of the rear screen. It is separate from the screen heater.

If your radio is original, it may have both aerials connected to the receiver. They originally used the "Diversity" antenna signal differentiation system. If your radio has been changed, it is likely the second lead could have been disconnected. Finding and connecting this lead at the left side of your transmission tunnel would at least allow you to have reception while fixing the outer aerial.
