Secure your antenna with this strong nylon ratchet mount. These mounts have a
four-way ratchet design with handle. Mount is not intended for use with an
antenna longer than 8 feet in self-supporting mode. Each mount has
standard 1"-14 male threads.
The bolt thru the "ball" swivel part has the nut locktighted together . I tried mouting a GPS antenna to the mount but needed to take the mount apart . Twisting the stainless steel locktighted nut from the bolt was no fun nor was tring to find a new stainless steel bolt and stainless steel nut with the nylon lock.I have an older ratchet mount that has the self locking nut which I can easily remove which I use for my marine radio .
I was looking for a way to get my GPS antenna on top of my T-top and this was the perfect low cost answer. It was just as described by Cabelas and worked perfectly.
