Use a mini or standard ball mount. RS or a local CB or ham radio shop will have one. You may have to enlarge the existing hole and also drill 3 in a pattern just around it, but you will be able to seal it up well enough to totally eliminate corrosion. You then have a standard 3/8 inch mount point that you can screw any standard whip or loaded antenna into. And it's rugged as hell. tom On 5 Mar 2004 at 16:27, Maynard Southard wrote: > > http://www.gis.net/~southard/Projects/DoubleCabRadio.htm > > This single hole is about 15mm (.60") in diameter.
