I am getting one today [CB ]

Only thing is I am considering keeping it mobile in a box...so can transfer to other vehicles......what do you guys do :?:

 

[Guest]

In the Disco mines hard wired straight to the secondary fuse box, set fitted into dash, and gutter mouinted antenna at rear.

In the Mav, I have the set on a 12v cigarette lighter type plug (fused) the set wedged between the seat and cubby box. Mag mount antena placed centrally on roof.

Have a search on old CB posts as others have differant ideas too.

My CB is in semi perm :roll: but if you don't use the cubby hole infront of the gear sticks you could cut a bit of MDF with the edges shamfered so it will slot in snug into the cubby hole & then cut out a slot for the CB to pop out of & secure the CB to the new panel with some L shaped brakets. Then fit some sort of handle to the front so you can pull it out (bit like the old pull out stereo's)

I've only just got one - for a 05 Patrol. I've fitted the radio, semi-permanently to the rear vertical face of the transmission tunnel using two strips of (very) heavy duty velcro. You can get that from B&Q.

I've had a cigar lighter plug fitted to the radio power leads and have it connected into a cigar lighter socket on the dash (there are two, side by side). This is only a temporary arrangement. I'll hardwire it permanently once I've decided on a better way of getting the aerial cable into the Patrol. At the moment, the aerial coax passes through the rear offside door seal - which I don't particularly like. It occured to me that the cables for the towbar electrics have to find their way into the car somehow - probably via a grommet, which may well have space for another cable to pass through. If so, this will let me avoid drilling another hole.

Cheers
Andrew

Have you considered this for a mount

I used to use one in the 70s when they were illegal :roll: you still have to find somewhere to mount though. A DIN plate adaptor is also available.

I can't find one, but I'm sure they used to make a through the glass type stick on antenna mount? or maybe my minds playing tricks?

 

[Guest]

Unlikely, I never thought we would get these numbers to start with so may have to change the start point to somewhere else, posssibly Castleton, as there is a large car park at the rd junction at the bottom of Winnatts pass.
Its also closer to the start point.
