Antenna Mount Help

[Eldritch Himbo]

Howdy Y'all, I bought the Trailrax hood strut mount so I could mount an antenna to to the front of my Bronco. I just want the antenna for aesthetic reasons, I am not planning on hooking it up to an actual radio. Could someone give me some advice on what hardware I need to mount the antenna to the bracket?

Washer, nut, and bolt? Doesn't look car wash friendly...

You could use this one. It’s self-adhesive…

That's very close to what you need.

The bracket came with mounting hardware. So that's all set.

The antenna is UHF female. Which is 5/8-24 I think. That screw is too big to fit through the bracket probably. So you need hardware to screw into the antenna and has a male threaded end that fits through the bracket.

Now just a washer and nut.


Any maybe run a fake wire too, to finish the look.

I'm guessing just a SO-239 connector based on that antenna? But that hole in the bracket looks too small to accommodate that. Unless you drill it out, use the SO-239 and then cap it with a washer and a nut.

It looks like you are fairly new here on the forum. You will need some thick skin and a sense of humor to continue.
