    UHF antenna mounting on LR AU bullbar

    Hi folks,

    Wondering if anyone has a solution to mounting a UHF antenna on the (genuine Land Rover AU accessory) bullbar on a 663 Defender? My local ARB says there's not enough clearance.
    Surely someone's done it locally?
    Many thanks!

    I just used a stedi mount. It's a 60mm appx diameter bar. Most antennas need a 16mm hole.

    60mm to 65mm Black Bull Bar UHF Mounting Bracket Clamp

    I obviously don't spend as much time trolling the internet as you do.

    Yes the Repco one gives about 2mm clearance to the bonnet - with 4WD flex it might gouge the panel. But the bracket could be modified to remove some metal and give a little more clearance.

    Thats not a BULL bar its a RABBIT bar
    I am pretty sure that that bar would cave in if it hit anything bigger than a rabbit.
