    Now you have a mount, get you some coax and an antenna.

    Fiberglass antenna seems to break off at the base faster when they are angled that far forward. At least the 4.5'-5' ones do.

    Actually it is 30° which still might be a little much, but the antenna is vertical running down the road....and it is heavy steel, not gonna give whatsoever.

    Craig it is heavy steel, this won't bend. I picked it up at Clay's radio shop San Antonio Texas. You can get driver's side or passenger side $39.99..I mentioned to them about the degrees of the antenna mount hole, and they was aware of the degrees..said if you use a coil could it gets it way in front of windshield...well it does just that.got a 13 inch riser under the coil, and swrs 1.5 across the channels.
