Message What part am I missing for this antenna mast install?

Hey all... I removed the broken antenna rope pieces from the motor, reinstalled, and then fed a new mast in from the outside. It extends and retracts OK, but what's driving me nuts is that it's super wobbly and can tilt from side to side from the base. I suspect my problem is that I'm missing a spacer and/or a brass tube. Would those stabilize the antenna mast in the housing?

ISSUE #1: I keep looking at this image [ https://www.nissanpartsdeal.com/diagrams/large/Z32/280_A002.png ] and can't figure out where the spacer 27960DA goes in relation to the washer 28227. This washer attaches to the antenna base, and it took me like two hours to find a photo showing exactly where and how it fits [ [ http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/177332.html ] ] But I don't seem to have the spacer 27960DA at all.

ISSUE #2: The metal tube is shown at the base of the top antenna in the photo in the first link below and mentioned in step #11 in the second link, also mentioned in the third link, but I don't remember seeing one on the mast I threw out, and I can't find a part number to tell me how to buy one (any ideas? or is this only available as part of a replacement motor?):

I've spent an embarrassing amount of time reading everything I can and looking at diagrams, but still can't seem to figure out what the deal is with these parts. Any help to keep me (and future people) from losing my mind any further would be gratefully received. Thank you!
