You could cut off the end of a coax cable, leaving about 6 inches of cable. Then strip about 4-5 inches of insulation. Put a right angle bend in the bare wire at the remaining insulation. Or strip a longer piece of coax and fold it into a "T". Voila! Or you could buy the OEM Apple antenna plus a set of the correct Apple had drive screws from me, shipped USPS Priority Mail from Eureka CA. How much do you want to pay for that? Jim Scott
