Make an adaptor plate and fit a Comant CI215 or perhaps a CI159C2 instead. Then get rid of the balun from the co-ax and terminate with a BNC instead of the ring terminals.
You will probably need to fit a new splitter to derive the separate glideslope signal as your current antenna has separate elements for these. This will depend on what nav receivers you have – the GTN and GNC from Garmin have the splitter built-in.
I think I have two VOR whiskers. Pretty sure of it in fact. They should thread in, or you could tap it.
I’ll post them to you FOC.

New and old Nav/Com at the moment. IFD550 and KX155. IFD440 going in at the end of the year.

Many thanks. I’ll get my info to you.
Threads merged.
The broken antenna doesn’t really show up on VHF comms but you get a nice blind spot on the VOR or LOC, as described in the link in post #1.
If WilliamF can’t find his, I may still have the rod which came out of the brass bush shown in the above pic.
