I hope you can find one. I have a shorter whip antenna fitted at the moment but because the standard screw fitting is so recessed inside the antenna, I couldn’t find an exact match, so it looks like it hasn’t been screwed on properly!
Would love to refit the original at a more reclined angle.

With any mounted aerial such as that, you could always do what we do on aircraft aerials, and that is, mask-off around the base of the fitted aerial with some decent tape such as
Frog Tape
and seal the joint with
Polyurethane sealant
You can find it cheaper than that illustration on places like Amazon. I've used it to bond aluminium strengthening plates to the mounting points on aluminium vintage car mudguards.
Don't be tempted to use silicone sealant - it gives up the ghost after a while.
