    What do you think about making a bracket that can hold both a pod and an antenna? Need 2 lights, but also need at least 1 antenna.

    I'd be definitely up for this also. Maybe undermount the LED pods and have the antenna feed up beside it.

    I like the way this guy thinks!

    It could be an add-on bracket, that would keep the inventory issues down.

    Hopefully we will have one available soon, just havnt had time to get the 2nd gen in the shop.
    Yes i have actually thought about that options as well. I think an add on bracket would be the way to go.

    haha

    Intermittent Wipers Cruise Control C4 3rd Gen CB/Ham Mount - 5' Firestik II, Larsen dual-band CB Radio HAM Radio
    Ordered driver side for a CB and mounted a 5' firestik II. SWR (on the radio) is 1:1 on all channels after tuning. I will check this with an external meter soon.

    Ordered a passenger side, with can opener, for HAM using a NMO mount and placed a Larsen 2m/70cm in it.

    While I had to file the hole for the NMO mount (it was not completely round), I am VERY happy with how these look.

    I WILL be ordering a pair of the SS ones when you release them...... *poke* Hurry....

    We have adjusted the brackets so that the holes are farther away from the bend in the bracket so no one will have that issue anymore. Otherwise glad you like the brackets!!

    Definitely put me down for one if/when you come out with a 2nd Gen version. I was just looking at finding someone to fabricate something almost exactly like this for me. Also preferably stainless.

    I was just talking to a shop next door to try and get a small scrap of stainless from them to test out on the plasma table. Hopefully we will have an update soon.

    Hey guys, I went ahead and ordered and 4'x5' sheet of 12 gauge stainless last week. I should have a test one cut this week, hopefully they come out nice!
