    Even the hack shops have a decent deal on a random piece of hardware or antenna once in a while.

    Yep. I like the big variety of things that Bob's cb has available. I won't ever have them "tune" a radio, but I will buy parts for my installation from them.

    Speaking of, does anyone have a source for a stainless steel antenna mount for the newer Cascadia (2018-2020)? I bought an aluminum version (PROCOMM brand) from Amazon, but would like it in stainless better.

    Most metal fabrication places can build you one out of stainless steel in 5 minutes if you give them the aluminum one as a pattern to copy.

    Thank you sir for the suggestion. I'll look around for likely places to ask about this.
    All I need is the part that actually bolts onto the mirror arm. I can use some parts of the stainless steel mount from Bob's (stud and such).

    My Stryker 955 I bought used for 340 already converted but the local CB shop would have wanted way more for that new to convert and tune it.
