All mounted up!!

To get the firering to properly ground to the mount I had to drill out 1/2" hole in a washer, then trim the sides so it would fit into the bracket. Note that I trimmed a lot more than necessary...







Just attaching the bracket to the hood doesn't ground the bracket. So i was going to put a short ground strap to the hood.... but even then there's still a significant amount of resistance to battery ground. I ended up putting a ground strap to the body for a good ground.

Was lucky enough to find a small nut that matched the threads of the bracket studs.





Here's how I have it routed out from the engine compartment. There's a nice little tab there that I was able to bend up, put the coax under, then clamp back down. Zip tie to the bottom of the hood latch, and good to go.





Wasn't able to put my antenna on because it hits my ceiling. Probably going to order a 3' NGP kit though.
