me and my dad made a rear chrome plated piece for my back plastics because i cracked them.

 

So I can't post attachments yet...

My local shop was charging $29 for a flag mount, and I needed two. I went to Lowe's and bought two of those long nut-looking things with threaded holes about the size of the bottom of the whip, and two bolts that fit the threads.

I ran a nut onto the bolt, cut it off with my dremel and removed the nut to restore the threads. I greased the bolt and threaded it into the nut thing. I stuffed a bit of paper towel into the other end, and epoxied the whip into the socket.

Repeat.

I removed the bolts, added a lock washer to each from my parts bin.

Two whip mounts for about $3 and fifteen minutes of work.
