Am looking at a purchasing a HF in the very near future. I have a 2002 GU Patrol wagon with an O/L Dual rear wheel carrier. I use an ARB Pilbara roof top tent that opens to the rear. Vic Road rules dictate that the large auto tune antennas such as the Barrett 910, must be rear mounted. My options are;

a) To mount the antenna to a bracket on the rear wheel carrier and open it to the side when setting up camp (not my preferred option) or;
b) To offset the mounting bracket so that the antenna is offset to the side of the vehicle.

I'd imagine that the unit would sit in line with and slightly above the RH Indicator unit. Has anyone made a custom bracket using the mounting bolts for the rear wheel mount of the RH barn door of a GU patrol and if so, could they send me a photo.

Many thanks,

Mick
