Help On Car Antenna Mount

Post by jaskel »

Hi All,

I just got a new 2010 Territory, I want to get a passenger side mount for my antenna, I dont want to drill holes and I know there is a mount that uses the panel bolt to lock it in, have you guys seen where I can get one of these from?? it is a z bracket with the extra bends to fit the territory front guard but I cant find this one any where and i really need to get one asap....

Can anyone help me out please!

Cheers

Jas

well id buy the normal one reshape in a vice and drill the holes in the bracket to suit the panel bolts if you cant find the right one and get stuck. Tho i guess some people dont like to do their own stuff its up to the individuall

the GME site does a Bracket for it which it the MBO17 however by the looks of it you need to drill but again have a play think it through a few times before you do it

Jaskel, why don't you go to a sheetmetal workshop and see if they can custom make one for you?
That stainless steel is very hard to work with and keep the bends straight.
