Whip antenna

Post by ClarkJ »

How and where do you secure the long rear radio antenna?Clark.

It depends on the base you use.

With the MP-50 mount it goes on the "L" shaped mounting bracket on the drivers rear corner using the MP-50 mount. There is another mount that will mount on the top of the spare tire carrier when mounted on the rear of the jeep.

I have dimensions for mounting the MP-50 if needed.

Hope this helps...

There is a rope with a clip that attaches to the antenna, tie it to whatever seems right...

I think you are looking for something like this...

Fair Radio has them, I do not know if it's correct or not. But I've seen them on a few jeeps.

That is it... You use black electrical tape to attach the tear drop shape tip to the antenna completely covering it. then attach the rope...
