just curious here being ya used a mfj 259 what was the r= reading and x= readingit looks like nylon/plastic of some kind,,, the long upper piece had come unglued or what ever was holding it in and slid down to the bolt holding the L bracket on.. i just needed the length so as to bring it back up and use a piece of pvc tubing that luckily fit just right to hold top piece at right length using L bracket screw to hold in place plus a new coat of goop to hold it together,,, works fine now i just needed a repair thats all....
