Mag mount

[Ziploc]

Crap, my buddies roof is pleated on his truck . How or were can you mount a mag mount on a rippled roof. We might be able to fit it were it flattens out a little in front of rear. What location would be better ? Thanks guys

Ok so 5 in mount probably a no go but a lil will mag would fit ok in between the ripples. Are they ok ?

For what they are the Lil Will is decent, won't perform as good as a larger antenna but if that's all that will work then go with it.

Buy a Tri-Mag and manipulate it.

What I was thinking.

Cut to fit

If a single 5" mag base won't fit how will three of them possibly fit?

Brittle as are those magnets, there’s bound to be a way to cut-to-fit. Even if I have to glue pieces of same to the modified backing shell.

An NMO Mount sure looks better, right?

Count the number of sheet-metal penetrations from factory.
Two dozen, or is is it three dozen?

I have several mag-mounts. Possession is — if nothing else — adaptation to circumstance even when a proper antenna vehicle-mount is installed.

Might need to set up a cookie-sheet antenna with a Little Wil someday.
Hang it out over the gate to the moat bridge after grid-down gets underway in earnest:

I repositioned the magnets on the plate. Fit my XJ like a glove. You can buy different size magnets and bolt them on the plate. Tons of options.

I have the same issue on my hhr. Since its all mine if I decide to put a radio in it ill probably puck it. I like the idea of swapping out the larger magnets for smaller. Ill have to try that.

 

[9C1Driver]

I see now, so yea three K-30 size magnets just might be the ticket.

Hahaha, thanks for reminding me, had the same problem, thought I'd make my own, bought some aluminium plate and 4 rare earth magnets off eBay, but which ones, awww heck go for the strongest. I'll test on the refrigerator first thought I.
The thing snapped to the door like a hungry crocodile's jaw, lucky I didn't lose finger tips, and I couldn't get the damn thing back off. Had to use a pry bar and wooden blocks to work it off.
Needless to say I never used it in the car.
Other half was not happy with gouges in the refrigerator door, so new one was procured.
Very expensive mag mount...
