    Does anyone know what I need to buy to mount a CB antenna to one of these mounts? I bought a 3ft Firestik with a stainless steel spring. It looks like it may not work once the CB antenna cord is attached.

    Antenna:
    $34 Firestik (FS-3BK) Black 3' 650W Tunable Tip CB Antenna

    This is the coax cable I was thinking of buying.

    $30 FireStik K-8R18 18 Foot Fire-Flex Coax Cable with Fire-Ring
    https://www.amazon.com/FireStik-K-8...r=1-2-catcorr&keywords=firestik+cb+coax+cable

    Would this be a better choice?

    Yes you are going to need something like choice #2. Mine attached with a bolt from the bottom so the thickness of the antenna mount did not matter.

    I assume that that will come apart and mount on the bracket sandwhiched b/t the washer and plastic spacer?

    My CB mount. Not a Relentless but the idea is the same.

    Firering is the only option that will fit.

    While you have the credit card out, I recommend a "Firestik CB Antenna Quick Disconnect". It lets you take the antenna down when not in use; local kids may find it an attractive neusense.

    Fire ring and a quick disconnect are my recommendations :)
