This new MR Coily Enforcer is 14" 8' total height swr is 1 to 1 at 30 ohms hooked it up to a MFJ meter so what do I need to do to get the antenna to 50 ohms
 

Sounds like a normal antenna to me. What's the 'X' value when you get that 'R' = 30 and SWR = 1:1? And the frequency? And if you adjust for an 'R' of 50 ohms, what's the 'X' value and frequency?

I know when you make a antenna shorter the feedline would get longer but is there anything elese I would need to do
 
i never figured out where that extra coax came from in the back of the mobile
one day i had the coax laid in then next day i set swr then i looked in the back and there was a pile of coax

No! No!
coax is coax
use what you need to make the run
is this not hard to understand
Coax is freaking Coax

you trying to say you cut an inch of stinger off and magically delicious
you get and inch of coax

if i told you coily had 2 antennas mounted on a flat bar and made both antennas were made hot then tuned
would this make you want to buy this antenna
or did you just buy that freaking mess because it was different
ok its different

nothing changed
but the thickness of your wallet
and you still have the same setup and the same person is still operating it
 
Might work...just cut off 1 foot and 8 inch's of the stinger, so that it is at 13' where you want it...then check ohms before adding extra coax....or send it back to builder for a antenna thats 50 ohms....
 
1) Cut the coax to the needed length. Forgetaboutit...
2) Adjust antenna for best SWR
3) if it won't tune, look it over for either improper assembly or bad PL-239 connector/solder job/not well grounded.
4) If that doesn't work, send it back to the mfr before you stomp it to pieces...
