    Well installed the Wilson mount cb works alot better, thanks. But as you can see in the pic there's about a half inch gap between the mount and base, what can I put in there to make up that gap? Thanks. IMG_20180816_114027.jpg

    I like the lug style.

    The ones with the 259 connection have plastic/nylon guts that can rip out if you over tighten them.

    Not many people use the lug style, for some reason.... anyone have comments?

    Any gumdrop mount is junk. You’ll understand in about a month of running it if you do use it, if it makes it that long

    This cb is mainly used for the asphalt plant. Not over the road use.
