Description

PDF

The original insulators on the Hustler vertical antennas become brittle over time and may break.  This is a very close approximation of the original bottom / base insulator.  I did not include the outer three screw holes as it's difficult to measure.  Instead I simply held the insulator up to the antenna, used a marker to mark the correct locations, and drilled holes for these three.  Other than that, it should pretty much be a drop-in replacement.

Designed from scratch in TinkerCAD, using pieces of the original broken insulator and a pair of calipers to take measurements.  Printed in PETG at 50% infill.
