Truck Stake Hole Kit - - Firestik CB Antenna Mounting

Reviews: 1

Firestik CB Antenna Mounting Kit: This kit makes it incredibly easy to install a CB antenna mount in your truck. The mount goes nicely into one of the stake holes found on the bed rail of full size pick-up trucks. The stainless steel bracket drops in and is locked into place with stainless steel hardware. There are no visible mounting holes required. We've even included a gasket to protect the finish on your truck. You get a quality stainless steel mount and 18 ft (5.5m) of professional grade Fire-Flex coaxial cable (with Firestik's exclusive FireRing connector) all in one package!

Note: The PL-259 connector (radio screw-on end) is supplied in this kit but is NOT installed on the coax cable. This allows the cable to be routed into the vehicle through a smaller (0.375") hole. After the connector is placed on the coax, the center must be soldered to the PL connector.

PROS:
Extremely solid mount to the stakehole.
No holes needed to be drilled.
CONS:
Poor quality fasteners supplied with the kit.
Confusing instructions.

I mounted a 102" SS whip and 6" pot belly spring using this mount. SWR was an instant 1.3:1 across the whole band.

Overall a 4.5 rating.
This is my 3rd FIRESTIK mount that I've owned. The mount works as I expected, based on prior FIRESTIK products. I am supporting a 108" antenna on a 2" x2" mount. There is no flex at all. The mount is solid. I made several minor adjustments to the mount
during installation. FIRESTIK has apparently done some cost cutting over the years since my last purchase. The SS screws supplied obviously came from the lowest bidder. The SS screws failed while LOOSENING the mount. 3 of the 4 stripped during removal.
Better quality screws were purchased at a local hardware store. This also required retapping the lower plate. The same sheet of directions must be supplied with all of their mounts. The pictures on them were not exactly like the kit I received. I also
had a couple of parts that were not shown in the directions.

I give this mount a 4.5 simply because of the poor quality screws supplied. Now that I've installed this mount, I'm certain that I won't experience any difficulty with future mounts. I do recommend this mount to anyone with a pick-up truck.
