    Howdy.

    I drive a 2007 international Paystar tri axle. I have my antenna mount on the mirror bracket and it is grounded. I bought a Wilson 2000 antenna and am going to put it on tommorow morning. My question is this: the antenna came with a black (nylon?) washer and a split lock washer. I'm wondering what the best configuration on the mount for these will be?

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Doesn't matter. There are there simply to keep the antenna from binding to the mount. They really don't figure into the performance.

    The nylon washer should be a shoulder washer, kind of resembling a top hat. You put the stud up through the hole in the mount, and the nylon washer goes on first, with the narrow part in the mount hole. The split lock washer goes on next, and finally the antenna screws on top.
