CB aerial mount IDEARs ???

Post by dunnin21 » Thu Mar 21, 2013 8:42 pm

Finally got my cb set up a aerial, I'm fancy mounting the aerial somewhere discrete like on spare wheel holder was thinking on the roof originaly but it will look like a remote control car. Anyone have any ideas or pics of what they have done

I have mine on my rear bumper- but my rear bumper isnt standard plus i think if you had it mounted on the factory bumper i think it would just tear off :lol:

I was thinking if I welded some thing on spare wheel holder but the wire might become week of opening and closeing the door. Not sure if it would affect range if it was on there also

Yeh see what you mean, do you still get decent range with it there

Mines on the spare wheel mount, I drilled a hole in the back door (behind the holder) and put a gland on it, I then ran the cable under the carpet with a connector by the door so i can change it if i have too, I gave a loop of spare cable by the door hinge, then ran the cable into the door cavity with the amp & 6x9 cables, the Ariel itself is mounted on a z shaped bracket which I bolted on to the spare wheel carrier
