Ditch light brackets with antenna mount

[chtucker]

Probably not going to instal ditch lights, but I am thinking a ditch light bracket on the drivers side only would be perfect for a NMO/SO239 style mount.

any recommendations on a stiff mount, that is either aluminum or Predrilled for an antenna? Don't want to drill powder coated steel and have it rust.

I swear that I saw a thread where someone found a nice way to install an NMO mount directly into the existing cowl/hardware in that area. Can't recall if this required drilling a hole. I know this is real because I stopped searching for solutions after seeing this setup. But of course, I can't find it now.

I will dig into my saved threads later to see if it was a dream or not.

I realize this isn't exactly what you were asking about, but is one option.

Thanks to @allhorse, I now have a slick solution for attaching whatever antenna I want.

This is how I did my 2m/70 antenna.

I needed to remove some plastic underneath for the bottom flange of the mount, but it was easy.

Found this thread looking for something similar. For anyone else on the hunt, Greenlane has some nice looking, aluminum ditch light brackets: https://greenlaneoffroad.com/6th-gen-ford-bronco/2021-bronco-ditch-light-brackets

I’ve used these from @Mountains2Metal on 2 Broncos and they are perfect!
