Does anybody have any thoughts on fabricating a dual band 2 meter / 70 cm antenna mount that will bolt directly to accessory ready mount(s) above windshield where the light bar would attach?? I am just looking for some possible roof mount solutions…. I have viewed a few different custom fit brackets for a light bar direct fit mount only parts, and I have a machinist at work that I may have some help with.. It looks like a place worth consideration, though I would like to find a single rail that runs crosswise from mount to mount with enough area for multiple antennas.. just theorizing ..

Looked at it, but where would you run the coax? Don't see a clean obvious solution.

I probably will end up running fender mounts for the v/uhf antennas. Still trying to figure out where to put the HF screwdriver antenna.
