Freightliner Cascadia - mirror mount antenna - where can I get longer screws ??

If memory serves, they are a 8mm bolt. I think the ones I bought were 1/2" longer and I use a flat washer. Bought them at Fastenal, but they had to order them. They were allen head as opposed to the OEM which are Torx.

 

The ones that come in the same package with the mount are stainless Allen heads with washers. Dude, just walk into the truckstop and look.

 

We have one in our town........they are a chain and pretty common....at least in our area.

 

They come with bolts, you don't need to get bolts.

 

I made my bracket out of stainless steel, so I had to buy the bolts. However, the stainless being thinner than the aluminum, I can get away with using the OEM bolts although they don't feel like they catch but on just a couple of threads. If I ran more than a couple days at a time, they might loosen up on me I suppose

 

Lots of parts there.. This would have been simpler

I wish the perch was longer! Big difference in the SWR if you slide that bracket up next to the cab. Besides, the hard part was getting the holes drilled correctly to fit the mirror. Welding a perch on it was child's play.
