Ordered a cb spare wheel mount on Friday and it turned up today, please see photos...

How do I fit the spring part of the whip?

Thanks

You can buy a little dome shaped mount that the spring whip will screw into.

You need one of these:

www.thunderpole.co.uk/fixed-body-mounts.html

Your antenna wire should then just screw to the bottom of it.

Then when you've fitted it, read this:

www.thunderpole.co.uk/cb-radio-guide-swr.html

understand it and then get one of these:

www.thunderpole.co.uk/swr-meters.html to tune it in.

You might need a better earth

Or the coil might be too close to the car body

I don't think its a metric thread looks too fine to me...

It's not worth mounting it just for looks I would order the mount it will be down in a few day
