My 2017 Sprite Alpine 4 was fitted with the Shakespeare RV9015LP aerial (the flying saucer tupe). We never use it, but after 8 years the shaft snapped off. I want to remove the aerial and just fit a blanking plate. But I can find no reference online to this aerial model or a possible blanking plate, and can't trace Shakespeare aerials. All enquiries have so far drawn a blank. The base of the aerial on the roof is round, about 12cm in diameter and is fixed by 4 bolts around the circumference. Has anyone fitted such a blanking plate, and can you provide any advice on where to source one?

    It must be 25 years ago that I took a similar aerial off so that an Elddis would go into the barn. I remember finding a wine bottle cork which fitted snugly into the hole after I pulled the cable out. Perhaps it was a Cotes du Rhone..
