CB - Charlie Bravos Dewsbury was created by Mick C
Any of you northern folks had any dealing with Charlie Bravos / Ray Balmforth? Sells cheap CB packages on eblag but also has a shop in Dewsbury. Not sure about mounts and connectors and... well everything really :S so fancied popping in somewhere were I could look at stuff etc.

It's a fair trek for me so if anyone has feedback on the shop that would be greatly appreciated :)

Might take a trundle over tomorrow or sat.

Probably go Midland as they seem to be the accepted standard, don't need no thrills. Which one do you have gromit? the 98?

Thanks ooky :laugh: more choice now! I don't want to spend much but I guess going for tti or midland in a simillar price range is going to get me a reliable piece of kit.

Now then...which antenna mount.....:unsure: :unsure: :unsure: :blink:

Met Ray on Friday and bought some kit, he's a proper character :cheer: He was packing gear for the Halloween bash at Kirton, glad I didn't trail over on Saturday he'd have been shut.

Got a TTI unit - just need to sort it all out now! I've done a permanent antenna mount fix on the Monty, not sure what to do on the Jimny though - to all you cb gurus out there - is using a bracket to bolt to one of the roof rails a dumbass idea???:S I know it wouldn't be the best spot performance-wise but do you reckon it would be acceptable?

yeah, that's what I'm pondering here, however when you buy a magmount there's a rubber pad between it and the painted body work etc... :S :S :S

must confess I don't know what I'm on about :whistle:

Hopefully someone will be along in the know :)
