Nokia DBox Broken Ariel Connection

[ctsw2001]

Is there a work round solution to use a working box which just has the ariel connector missing. Just snapped off, and was going to put on Ebay but thought I'd ask here first.

Thanks

Is this the one you mean;

F Connector Chassis Socket : Aerial Connectors : Maplin

Also, wouldn't this mean that it could snap off again? Something more secure is needed to hold it together in my opinion.

The one you mentioned from maplins ( Item FE98G ) . This an ideal upgrade and would secure itself the the box chassis for a more stable fit.

Could you tell me a little more about how it secures itself? Can anybody fit these or shall I get it done?

Remove the nut , stick the end through from inside the box then screw the nut back on , Then it is fully secure and going nowhere , unlike the original which just sticks through unsecured
