You don't have to buy the exact match in order to use the existing hole.
Both of the replacements we sell use the existing hole and look similar
to the original.

Our FM09V ($8.95) is from JP/Denmark and our FM09VH (14.95) is from
Hella. Both of these have a similar base to the original (and use the
original hole), with a short black mast, and look quite good on the
Vanagon. These replace the chrome-mast Harada antenna that we and most
other VW parts vendors previously sold. (Harada has not been shipping
for quite some time. Their distributor told me that the factory was
destroyed by a typhoon.)

These prices would be 5% cheaper if included in a $50+ order to which
the listmember discount applies, so you could add some belts, oil
filters, etc. to boost it up if you were so inclined.

You can find both items, and a picture, at
