Here is the link for a site offering replacement antennae for about $10. For
the price, you may just decide this will make your job a lot simpler.

Hi there

What is the best type of "wire" for making a homemade car antenna to pick
up FM radio. Is it copper? Aluminium? What thickness or size. Lenght?

Thanks!
