Default Can I replace my powered antenna with a short non-powered one?

Can I replace my powered antenna with a short non-powered one on my 94 SC300?
I am sick and tired of breaking the mast and now the motor doesn't even suck in my new mast.
I took the whole motor out and now I have an angled oval hole that I need to find a replacement antenna to cover it. Ideally it is one of those european style short rubber antenna that I can found on ebay but my concern is the plastic MOUNT (or BASE) to the hole that might not fit. Anyone has the experience? Any pictures?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah,

I did this. I used the silver oval base of the stock one and inserted the new non-power black one through the middle. All in all it looked pretty good. I no longer own the car so I can't go take any pictures.

Hello Dx3,
Can you please explain how you inserted the new non-power black one through the middle? How is the 5MM / 6MM screw mounted into the half inch hole? And the most important is how metal part of the antenna mast not grounded to the car body?
