With just the one screw I don’t know how you got the mount bracket to be tight. Debating drilling another hole for the other side or using gorilla tape. I still want it in the same position yours is mounted.

Kurt Sterling says:

Another question, are you required to replace the factory bolts (~5:37) with the longer bolts and add fender washers and nylock nuts? I notice the holes that the bolts go into are threaded already.

Kurt Sterling says:

Quick question, the rubber grommet that the cable runs through (~9:03) did you have to cut the center of that to make the hole big enough for the cable to pass through?

CheapStackVinyl says:

Was this a three foot antenna?

The bear says:

Get rid of the spring nothing but problems with swr

blazin Spike 3809 says:

nylon bushing going on the stud first before inserting the stud in the mounting brackets

manchild says:

Thank you for doing this video. You are appreciated. ? for ya. They sell the nylon bushings for CBs that have a """"RAISED CENTER"""" that fits INSIDE of bracket's mounting hole. Would this style of bushing eliminate the need for a rubber band, o-ring or E tape like you suggested. Btw all great ideas. lol. Here is a link to what I am thinking of using for my YJ.
Notice how the center is raised.

Cool videos. If I want to connect directly to the battery but the red wire isn't long enough, how would I do that? Can I crimp any color wire to extend it to the battery?

Jason Jin says:

Thank you, can’t wait until I install mine!

David Wenzel says:

I really like that mount but I can't find it on amazon. Any additional info?
