Made Shorty Antenna

ok, so i made a shorty antenna out of the old cavi one i had laying around, could't believe it screwed right on. So now i need to know what i can put on the tip of it to make it look alittle better, like mabe a little ball or something like that , like the stock one has on it. Any suggestions?

Hold the cut off end of the antenna in a vice. put a pair of pliers next to the ball and smack it with a hammer, it will pop off (and fly across the room!). Fetch the ball and epoxy it onto your shorty.
