Thread: Codan Autotune Antenna mounted on bullbar - strength of mount?

If planning to go into South Australia, IIRC autotunes are not permitted on the front bullbars.

hmmm...your the second person to tell me that.

Looks like it's time to annoy the neighbours again with the ginder and welder to fabricate a mount so I can hang the antenna from the rear of the 130 tub.

Thanks
Andrew

Ditto for W.A. I would think this stance is pretty much universal now.

ok...made a mount for rear of the 130 tub.

Antenna came with a bracket that allows the antenna to be folded. but the bracket has a bit of play in it and the antenna has a wobble which I will need to fix.

Thanks

Hi Andrew

Nice looking mount!

Just a couple of other things. What is the black box underneath?

I'd be unstalling a security retainer device that can't be accessed by bolt cutters or hack saws. People seem to like collecting 9350s.

Hi Diana

Thanks! The mount is 5mm Stainless steel plate.

The black box is a "can't bend 'em fold 'em" folding antenna mount. made by www.pefabrication.com.au

It allows the antenna to be folded down. It came with the antenna.

It works well, but has some play in the holes and therefore the antenna wobbles slightly. I need to look at this further to work out a way to stop the wobble. Also will look at added security - I currently have it padlocked.

Cheers
Andrew

My autotune is mounted on the bullbar and I spent 4 weeks recently in SA. I must have been lucky

I am fabricating a bracket though, to move it to the right rear.

There probably weren't too many law enforcement officers in the area you were travelling through though Numpty.
