when your first thought is not the mileage or seating capacity, but
where to plumb the radio! Does anyone manufacture an adjustable bracket
that will fit into or around the luggage rack frames? I can fabricate my

pretty as my wife would like.

Marine antenna mounts work great as well, and most are built to withstand the
elements better.

See the AES catalog pages 78-89: http://www.aesham.com/pdf/pages78-89.pdf

for several types of mounts..
