Can I make a washer for my antenna?

I lost the washer for my antenna, can I make a washer out of something? Does the washer have to conduct electricity well for it to work or could I make a washer out of copper wire until I find my other washer?

The copper wire should work fine. It conducts electricity quite well.

Make sure there is no coating tho...scrape the wire clean if there is a coating.

Cheers!

insulated antenna

while getting the wire i thought i wold try to insulate my antenna as well. here is how i did it.
I didnt feel like bending the little loop and sliding on a tube to insulate the antenna. So what I did was slice a wire down the middle and slip it on. heres some pictures to describe what I mean.

find a color that matches your cars color scheme
