Oh - Aerial! I have to look it up every time, too.

The Ariel Atom has a K20, not a C32...

The twig for the NSX comes new in two parts - the mast with a plastic tail and the motor unit. Which bit do you need?

I believe the part nos are shared with various Hondas, where they may be cheaper. NSX tax...

There are aftermarket washer pumps that are universal to many Hondas too. I've not heard any complaints.

Generally googling them might get you an alternative.

I have a complete, secondhand, aerial (mast, motor, the lot) should you be interested?

I've recently fitted the S2000 antenna (mine was starting to act-up). Cheap (look on thensxshop.com) , and pretty straightforward to fit once you'd got the OE one undone...

Do you have to re-shape the hole to fit the S2000 unit?

It goes in an ovoid hole on the S2000.

EDIT; oh - I see! It's only half-S2000.

I think I recall using a bike spanner to release the NSX's twig - it was a sod to loosen with a chisel, though!

There is a specific Honda tool to remove the antenna, I have one. It's a lot better than slipping with a screwdriver down your rear wing!
It wasn't too expensive from memory, there may also be a generic tool you can buy for the job too...
