He said he uses the tape to hold the mount - he then detaches the head from the mount to conceal it.

wrote: How can I run Power and antennas out of vehicle to battery, antenna mounts etc.? Answer: In my old Ranger [1985] just below the driver side left hip under the floor mat is a 3/4 inch drain hole with a grommet as a plug. I released the aluminum cover from the door/mat area and lifted the mat. Sure enough the plug was there!! I clipped out a 3/8 diameter section from the center of the grommet and sliced one end open. After running the necessary wires through the grommet it was reinstalled and sealed with Coax-Seal [$3.00 at HRO]. There was no need to punch holes, drill holes, etc. Same with my 2000 Ranger. There are 1" holes under the floor mats on both the driver and passenger side near the seat fronts. You can easily find their locations by crawling under the vehicle. Remove the grommets (or cut a hole in them) and then the path from the rig to the battery and antenna is easy. 73, Caveat |
