I had the same D&M type on my C150 but it didnt look like your connection plate

They are a good antenna and are better for the full aircraft band 118-137
than a simple rod antenna
Usually it is best to replace - maybe a used one - to fit the same mounting holes
on your aircraft.
Actually for my 150 I bought a second one and mounted it on the other side. They
were not expensive when you consider the mounting requirements and the wide
bandwidth.
The rod antennas sold for cropdusters etc. are very stiff and heavy so would damage
the C150 they are cheaper I got one from ACS but cut it off and welded
a tapered stainless steel rod from a radiotelephone antenna supplier instead.
Its OK for my microlight where i also have a couple of minature R/T antenna bases
on but for a C150 you would need something that looks like it has TSO approval.....
