    Just stay away from that snazzy chrome crap...For now till you find a way better,grab a wilson hd stud..Only plastic washer with that

    Yeah you dont need the spring,just buy the 7ft skip shooter or firestick..Angle about 45 deg...Also grab some flexable pvc just barely bigger in diameter to put over the bottom 3 ft of the ant,stops some sway.. 20180811_091632.jpg
