Adjustable Universal Hood Mount
[Firestik SS274A]

I used this mount on the hood of my '98 Ford Explorer to mount a 3' Firestik antenna. The mount is designed very well and installation was a breeze. One word of caution; I used my impact/driver to seat the screws and managed to snap one in two.

I think I set a record for getting this mount installed. Put it in the hood channel on the front drivers side of my '02 Tacoma with the included 4 sheet metal screws and it works great. Incorrect polarization of antennas (i.e. the antenna not being perfectly vertical) degrades the signal strength severely. With this mount I was able to adjust the antenna to be perfectly vertical and am getting great performance. Very happy with the all stainless steel construction (even the included screws), this is a well designed and constructed mount. Very satisfied.
