I put my 14" in, and I know i didnt use the extender, and im pretty sure i used the rightmost screw in your picture with the short end with the thicker threads going into the antenna, and the longer end going into the base, when i get back in town on fri i can check for you for sure if noone else has answered yet, but it did take a bit of messing around with it to get it on there just right

the thinner threads do not fit in the antenna; they are too small

hmm, i will have to double check for you when i get home on fri then, tho I am reasonably sure that i did not use the leftmost one you have there which leaves only the middle one to try

You can take out the one from your stock antenna and use in the new one as well. JMO Hope it helps!

I bought the same one, from the same place.....45 seconds after I opened the package it was on, lock-tite and all. Sorry I don't recall which, if any of the screws I used. It's not like you're putting one of these on....
