Working on the Alumaduty poses some new concerns about Aluminum touching steel. I hate to drill holes. So after much staring and some cardboard. Presto. One ham antenna mount aluminum against aluminum using an existing fastener. I still need to finish running the wire into the cab and mounting the Yaesu FTM-400 XDR. My OCD is even happy with the antenna symetery. Yes stuff like that catches my eye. For those that want an example if you have Adaptive Cruise Control look at the spacing between the tow hooks.

OMG...Thought it was the space shuttle dash. LOL you must love them electronics. Did you make the flat extender for your dash mount ? Actually did you make the whole dash mount system?

the mount starts as Built Right Industries mount. I added the rest. 1/4” x 2” alu bar 4 67 designs mounts and 4 Ram *****.
Have you done an SWR reading for the bands you are operating? I always get challenges when ground planes are of a small size or irregular shape since that means the antenna must be a specific length to get a good impedance match, and sometimes that ends up being pretty tall for the VHF 2m bands.

_360J - this was just me tinkering around in the garage. Unfortunately I don't have the time or equipment to mass produce them. The aluminum is easily sourced at home depot, ace or metals depot. Easy to work with basic tools and files.
Whatever works for you, but this mount is a fantastic option. Antennas line up too. Just a slit on the rubber piece of the wiper cover to route the coax. SWR is 1:1.
