Thanks Beast

I checked the Subaru.com prices, and it is listed at $38. Not too dear, even if the postage doubled it. I will do that as a default.

Meantime, Paul in Japan is checking if the price is reasonable there with the weakish Yen. That would suit me better, as he can also ship me a RHD English workshop manual.

Currently I have the mast unplugged at about 6". Gets reception, and if somebody breaks it, it is already broken anyway until I get the replacement, so little or no loss.

Thanks for the help and advice,

Joe
