    I was using the standard that comes with the mount in that picture. I sold it to a guy at Love’s in a 2017 Cascadia since they are putting me in an LT Intertrashinal. Gotta start all over.

    When useing pvc pipe,get the more flexable stuff that would be used in a non pressurized water pipe..That really stiff black stuff will cause alot of stress on the stud/ant bracket.......All you need is inside diameter of pvc that is the outside diameter of the antenna...

    As for stud,all i have and so far the best would be the hd aluminum wilson one from the pilot or fj....I think procomm makes same....I like the top of the predator ant stud but the bottom sucks..

    How do you keep water from going down the pipe and collecting at the bottom on top of the stud?

    I dont..its not a tight enough fit for water to build up..
    I did think about shooting a smush of expanding foam down the to act as a plug.....

    I I used self-fusing tape top & bottom. Also to seal coax junctions.
