VOR Antenna replacement

My aircraft is currently going through annual. One of the items I want to replace on the aircraft is the VOR antenna on the vertical stabilizer. The antenna hit something with the previous owners. They bent it back, but I can still see the bending. I was looking at replacement antennas from manufactures like Comant, but I can't find an exact replacement. Has anyone else bought a replacement VOR antenna and what manufacturer and size?

I've attached a picture of my current antenna with it's base.

skymstr02 is an unknown quantity at this point
Thats a Cessna unique antenna, and there is no exact replacement from another manufacturer.

You should be able to find a used servicable whisker from a salvage yard, if you choose to go that route.

Thanks,

After some investigation, I've found it's easier to refurbish the current antenna array. I plan to call Don next week.

Thanks for the input,

Karl
