CB Radio

Cooper & Elms in Kings Lynn up the side street by the Cinema. Thats where I got mine, they do a range of aerials ( different colours etc) & brackets.

rough costs are £60+ for the unit. £10 for the gutter mount bracket and from £10 for the whippy aerial.

cant remember how Marks got his rigged up????

You will need a gutter mount if you mount it on the edge of the roof like mine. Mag mount are ok but I personally dont like them, plus they have a tendancy to damage the roof panel.

dito on craigs advice .
And yeomans on nth walsham rd Nch

If you want to drill the panel anywhere to fit an ariel you will need a knuckle mount or DV27 mount as they used to be called....

i will find you a link of the fleebay thing and post it here.....

This is what you will need if you want to have a cb radio ariel on the rear panel...

You will also need this to connect the ariel to the base..

This alows you to angle the ariel ...

Hi,

I'm currently in the process of installing my cb radio, waiting for the rest of the parts to arrive. I'm removing the wing aerial that came with the car and replacing it with a cb aerial. I'm using a CB / Car Radio Splitter to allow my radio to work.

I bought following odds and ends;

Midland 78+ (Maplin)
Tornado Stinger Aerial (Maplin)
CB / Radio Splitter (4x4cb.com)
Wing Mount + 5m Cable (4x4cb.com)
Angle Adaptor (4x4cb.com)

Hope this helps.

Update;

Currently using a spare mag mount for the sunday as the wing mount angle adaptor hasn't arrived yet. Tested it this evening, all seems to be working ok.

I'm using this adaptor for adjusting the angle as it allows you to keep the original screw type mount opposed to the DV type.
http://www.4x4cb.com/public/item.cfm?itemID=1135 it doesn't really matter what you use really.

I put my CB in temporarily for the run the other day and used my old mag mount on the roof but it doesn't look great and I had to put a cloth between the mount and roof.
I now want to install it properly to make it look nice and tidy

Just had a look on 4x4cb and saw this...
http://www.4x4cb.com/public/item.cfm?itemID=1086

It says its built mainly for mini's and sounds good but has anyone tried one or know if they are any good.

Looks like it could work really well and means you don't have to drill any panels.

Got my Radio from the Aylsham car boot for £5 and it works really well, apart from the annoying beep that everyone hates

Harry these mount are very good....

We used to use them on the hatch back cars and they will fit on the boot lid of a mini ok.....

Brilliant! I have just got that off the site so it should arrive in a couple of days I hope it will be nice to be able to have the aerial on all the time, at the moment I keep it in the back when its not used, so people that have the fun of sitting in the back get attacked by a Stinger

Got my CB boot lid mount through today and it works really well I put it at the bottom so the aerial doesn't stick up beyond the roof as much, haven't tried driving with it yet...Im worried it might smack other cars bonnets at the lights

I haven't tested the range yet but I will do that when im next in norwich and can find some other people

I thought the boot lid mount was supposed to be at the top of the boot???

Very good Harry looks very cool and practical...

You just need to spin it to the right slightly so its STRAIGHT..

This is the mount I went for:
CB AERIAL BODY MOUNT FOR LORRY 4X4 DEFENDER 5M CABLE
and found it on fleebay.
It's placed on the offside down by the lights. When fitting make sure the panel is as vertical as possible

got a CB installed know and just got to get a mount.....

Tempted by the one that harrys got!!!!!!

Doesn't damage the paint to much
