I wish I had found it sooner. Three miatas worth of parts in two
different locations and no inventory system. It can get tough to find
things, or even to remember if I have them.
The organization is part of what you are paying planet-miata for, but it
figures that I would come across the antenna base within a week of your
order.

Let me know how the antenna you received works for you. The one I have
is either from a 1991 or a 1996 model. Either way, it should work with
your '96 model. I will hold it until you let me know, and I am still at
the new email address.
