For anyone out there in AU Fairlane world looking for an aerial, we all know that the regular falcon aerial won't fit.
I found one on Ebay HERE for only $21 but it's not a NOS unit. It appears to be a generic aftermarket unit but it is the right diameter and length. It will fit but it needs a little tickling as the nipple on the top of the aerial is too long and is tapered where the original is not. The upshot is that the aerial won't sit down totally and sits up above it's shroud when it's retracted. I had to pull out my dremel and grind away the bottom of the tapered nipple to make it sit flush. Once that was done and about 10cm was cut off of the cord it works like a charm, so for anyone looking for one, it's a cheap alternative to a NOS unit if you can even find one. Last one I saw was $115. Cheers Bushbasher
