Predator I 10K Puck Mount

i was told not to use a spring under a 10k .

does it flop around or have any issues 15 ?

You can use a Pot Belly spring like is used with the 102" Whips, on the short shafts like a 6,9, or 12" shaft, and it will work just fine with the Single Coil 10K's...But don't use a spring on longer shafts like the 17,22, and 27" because it will flop around from wind drag off the coil...

Also I would not use a spring on the Dual Coil 10K's either, for the same reason...Too much wind drag, even with the short shafts.
 
I talked to Cale a few years back about what he thought on what would be best for my GEO ? but I can't find the thread anymore. I have wrote him 2 times to his email addy and no reply ? (IM guessing maybe because of the Holidays ?)
I talked to Kale a couple of weeks ago, and he was having computer problems, and has not been able to get on-line...So this is probably why he hasen't returned your emails...

He said if anyone needs to contact him to call him at one of these numbers:
817-790-6239
817-319-9080 (cell)

He was also having problems with his main number too at the time, but it should be fixed by now...
 
JJD ive got a 6 inch dual coil that i just use the larger coil on so its a 6 inch single coil . so youve changed your opinion and are now saying i could put a big pot belly spring on it and not have to worry about it flopping around when driving on the highway and typical starting and stoping ?

You might be hard pressed to beat the performance of what you have. For the minimal gain you might see, your roof will take a lot more abuse. If it was me, I would stick with what you have.
