Temporary Aerial Mount

DC3079 Trunk Groove Bracket
You don't have to drill any new holes, just undo one of the bolts running along the top of the guard and bolt it under that. Good temporary fix, I wouldn't leave one on tho as they tend to flex and rub on the paintwork eventualy.

Hi

we use a Z bracket on our Prado. The rubbing is a funciton of the weight of the arial - a big arial will eventually rub. So we use a SS whip arial with a spring base - also easy to unscrew when leaving vehicle (ie take it off and put in the truck before someone else does!) When around town tend to leave the arial off the truck anyway.

Cheers

I've used these with 27 meg CB antennas which are much bigger and therefore offer far greater wind resistance and are more prone to being blown off at speed.

Having said that, of the three cars carrying them, one blew off twice at 160 km/h and the other two were stable up to 180 km/h.

With a smaller, lighter UHF antenna you will have no problems. The ones we used had a plastic pad on the base and no scratching occurred.

They are the easiest way to fit a temporary antenna. Just feed the cable through a door jam, the door seals mould around the cable preventing any damage.

Cheers,

Jim.
