Re: CB Radio - How to fit
No worries Brett.
A perfect fit and a perfect price, what more could you ask for
Guys, I would like to take this opportunity to take back my earlier comments about the legality of tuning-in to police bandwidth on your UHFs.
I have done some research on this on the net and found out that it is completely legal to do so and in fact all police channels and their corresponding frequencies are available freely on the net (including call signs)
The statement made by Brett earlier is entirely correct.
quote:
It's not an offence to listen to police frequency. The offence is only committed when done so to gain financial advantage or to assist in the commission of an offence.
I apologise for misinforming you all in this regard and the floor is open to discuss this topic here if you wish to do so.

Re: CB Radio - How to fit
Due to a recent EXPLOSION of things being stolen off 4wd bullbars recently, I have made some nice little changes to my UHF antenna bracket to stop this.
I cut a ridge from the centre hole to the edge, as wide as the coax, but smaller than the antenna screw. This enables me to unscrew the antenna and then slide the whole unit out via this channel.
In order to secure it somewhere it wont get stolen, I devised a little 'holder' inside the engine bay. I secured a piece of tube to the top of the air intake, which fits the antenna base inside nice and tight. This was secured to the plastic air intake using industrial strength velcro.
The contraption, with antenna base fitted inside.
It may not be up to OE spec, but it does the job of hiding my antenna base when not in use. It only takes 1 minute to pull the antenna out of the tube and the screw it into the bracket. The actual antenna new home is below the front passenger side mat.
The small square piece of velcro also on the air intake is for the bonnet strut hook. A mates strut has worn a small hole in the plastic air intake, so this little piece adsorbs the vibrations nicely. If only Jalal can find a supplier for the gas bonnet struts. LOL.

Re: CB Radio - How to fit
If you show me how big the adapter is, I'll be able to tell you if it'll fit through the firewall or not.

Re: CB Radio - How to fit
There are 2 grommet holes in the firewall which you can use.
1 is located behind the passenger's glovebox, the 2nd is located up near the accellerator pedal (this looks like a 5mm rubber plug but you can remove it and use your own grommet).
