CB Antenna Mounting/SWR Meter

calvynandhobbs:
I have a 4' Firestik sitting in the back of my XJ. The previous mount I had used the top bolt for the rear taillight, but had a little run in with a tree so I just removed it and haven't had a chance to remount the stik. I need to remount my antenna and I'm thinking about a bracket to mount it to the opposite side of the hood from the radio antenna. Where is a good place around here for picking up brackets and things? Without my tools I don't even have a drill if needed. Can anybody give me a hand before the trip to Mohawk next weekend?

rocket:
I can give you a hand, and you know where i am.  If you want to come early friday, thats ok, too (though last minut stuff takes longer than planned, always!)  don't know about mounts, other than possibly a radio shack.  are there any truck-stop style stores around?

Axle:
Bumper to Bumper would probably have something or know where to get it.

calvynandhobbs:
I'll take a run down to bumper to bumper this afternoon and see what they have. I talked to a guy at J&S Radio sales in Willimantic and he said they have the Wrangler and Cherokee hood type mounts that go between the hood and the front fender in the gap. If bumper to bumper can't help me I'll probably take the drive to Willimantic today. Thanks for the offers to help guys.

Bumper to Bumper didn't have anything. The guy behind the register even called a few Jeep people he knew to see if they knew where I could find anything. I ended up taking the drive to J&S. It was worth the trip. They have a ton of cb equipment, two-way radios, ham radio stuff and just about anything else you can think of. They outfit several police departments with all of their equipment and had police cruiser lights, fire truck lights and all kinds of stuff on the shelf. I ended up picking up an external speak to go with my cb while I was there since he had several used ones for $5 each. Now I just have to mount it up.
