oh and yeah my grond is in the wrong spot i realized that shortly aftarwards:doah::doah:
 
If the red arrow is a ground wire, it's in the wrong place. It is a direct short to your radio in that spot. The best thing to do is make sure there is no paint between the top of the stud and the bottom of the bracket (blue arrow), this connection needs to be metal-to-metal. Then, grind the paint from the side of the bracket (yellow arrow), and drill a hole there attach the ground wire. If that's not a ground wire, then nevermind... carry on...:D

no it is a grond, at the bottom of my post i said i know it is in the wrong spot i realized it just after i too the pic.

i used it insead of grounding though the mount because 1) the mound swivels and i dont want intermetant ground.

and 2) if i remove all paint and do get good ground though it the rust would quickly be in there and kill my ground.


oh and i donot think it will rip off it is 14"x1 1/4" plate welded to my 3/16th wall bumper with 7018;s ant going no ware, then again i dont do rock so i dont have to worry much about that.

might move to my rear once i build that bumper
 
Ah, now I see it at the bottom, I didn't see the line under the pics....:doah: :doah: :doah:
 
this was how my dad ,noel la due ,mounted a 10 ft long antennea. it , the antennea , has a spring on the end and makes alot of racket , so i tooks it off when i took the lid off too. my dad would NEVER let us take that top off.....he passed in his sleep last year..so OFF WITH THE LID....as a matter of fact ,EVERYTHING makes racket in my blazer but it drives like it did when i learned to drive is this blazer. oh my its a bit hard to see that antenna...yikes
