Replacement whips come in a VARIETY of sizes (whip diameter a connection
point) and well as lengths. The more popular whip sizes:

0.100 inch (2.5 mm)
0.072 inch (1.8 mm)
0.046 inch (1.2 mm)

If you need something "right now" you can use brass rod - available through
your local welding shop / welding supply store OR a well equipped hobby shop
for model trains, RC planes and cars.

PCTel, here in Chicago, purchase Antenna Specialists. They sell a number of
replacement whips ....

Eddie -

The smallest stainless steel rod that J. Schmidt sells is 1/8" (0.125) or
(3.175 mm) in diameter.
For a 5/8 wave antenna, the whip diameter is most likely smaller than this.
Most popular whip sizes used by antenna mfg:
0.100 inch (2.5 mm)
0.072 inch (1.8 mm)
0.046 inch (1.2 mm)

You have not mentioned the specific antenna or mfg (e.g. Larsen, Diamond,
AS, etc) that you have.

You can also visit a land mobile dealer (Motorola, GE/Ericsson. Kenwood)
that performs service work and mobile installations for local or provincial
law enforcement, fire, etc. They routinely have spare whips in their
service bay.

Do you have a Two-Way commercial radio maintenance shop in your area?
If so, I'd stop by, with your loading coil in hand, and ask when if they
have a replacment whip that would work. You might be able to get one free,
but bear in mind commercial frequencies are generally just above the
amateur radio bands, so if they give you a used whip, make sure it is the
proper length for your particular loading coil.
