Masts arrived Today, we've started to assemble the antennas, and the first 20 or so will ship Today.

The complete replacement assembly weights 5.8oz (0.36lbs), based on weight-reduction threads, other members have placed the stock antenna weight at 1.7-2.2lbs, so it's a weight savings of about 1.5lbs.

I have been covering / uncovering my car with this antenna on an almost daily basis for the last month, and have been making slight tweaks to my personal antenna. One of the items I didn't like was the rubber piece between the base and mast would poke out slightly, so I found a way to eliminate this part altogether. By using a combination of a fender washer, and a serrated tension washer, which go underneath the quarter panel, spacing the antenna downward. This also creates a tighter grip on the quarter panel, since it's now a full ring instead of the standard claw, so the overall antenna is more-secure.

These tweaks will be included with all of the Group Buy antennas, which should ship Today and Tomorrow.
