i cant wait to take it though the car wash, it only gets washed about 3-4 times a week lol. im a regular. |
Nice, what's plumber's tape? Yea, go thru the carwash and at the end say, "Dude, your machine ate my antenna." Or should I translate, "Ahora cabron, tu pinche maquina se comen mi antena guey" lol

Mines done now.. I made my bracket out of a piece of that garage door hanger material like this..
http://i37.tinypic.com/9gzdkx.jpg And cut a piece out and rounded the edges down for a piece like this.. http://i38.tinypic.com/14vn3p0.jpg I flattened this out and bent it the other way to come up with a brakcet like this.. http://i38.tinypic.com/kespwg.jpg And The final Result.. http://i37.tinypic.com/2hs5aud.jpg Oh and just a heads up for anyone that is just learning about small modifications.. This is a little trick that MANY people use to keep their bolts from sliding up in the sockets.. Take a little piece of paper, or kleenex, or papertowel, and shove it down in the socket to keep the bolt from goin up in there real far, so you have more threads to work with on the other end.. Looks like this.. http://i35.tinypic.com/160q147.jpg Then when you are done, you can take a nail or even a stick and poke it back out from the other end. Thanks Zach for the idea on the mod! I love it, and reception is still fine for me. :up2: Tools used: 7mm Socket Extension 1/4" Ratchet some cheap-o galvanized material hacksaw 2 glasses of crown & Pepsi |
