Sirio mobile antennas, which is which

I've wondered if the Sirio will work on a Wilson roof mount as well. I've got several, older, Wilson 1000 antennas and one of the newer 5000s. I would really like to know if a Sirio would fit properly on the Wilson roof mount.
I have a Sirio 5000 on my old Wilson 5000 mag mount, no problem. Although the Sirio mag mount has a bigger diameter.

So just an update. Earlier this year after this thread was posted. I put an old stock wilson roof mount on my truck with a sirio fighter p-5000-pl.
It had the fold over lever thing. Seemed well made. Tuned very easily.
I check my SWR every day as a normal matter of course. Its the first thing i do when i turn it on. One day, poof full scale. I unscrewed the antenna base from the mount and everything seemed fine except the inside if the pl connection was very very chalky, almost looking like corrosion. Looking back on it, maybe i should have slathered noalox or some other dielectric grease but didn't.
I got frustrated enough to rip it all out and mount a puck. I have had no issues with that.

Id never hesitate to run a sirio again though.maybe it was a fluke.

No problem. I just posted the link and info in case someone was looking for a 5000 replacement stinger. The 72" Light Duty should replace the 70.8 inch factory one without breaking the bank.
