do anything new? Where did you get your CB antana mount from?
Here in Fresno called Red Monkey. If you don't know where they are, it's kinda tricky to describe but they're west of Golden State north of Shaw ave.
The mount is Firestik brand, I just dug up my receipt in my "Tracker file" and their invoice calls it a "hatch back mount #FSSS204."
I just now typed in "SS204" on Google and discovered that's the part number.
Works real well, it perfectly misses the door when in the closed position. I couldn't have asked for a better setup.
I have two pictures here:

Behind the four bolts holding the bracket on are fiber-lock nuts, and also a metal plate about 1"x1" with four holes drilled to tie everything together on the backside and act like a really big washer for all four bolts. Pretty damn stout. Driven it everywhere and haven't had it cause problems (only a rattle, but that's the rattle from the quick-release I have on it).
Just a tip: I had the L-shaped part of the bracket (where the antenna actually mounts) flipped to make it an extra inch taller...but that was too much leverage, no matter how much I tightened the allen set screws the damn thing would rotate. The way it is now (see pics) is 1" lower than I wanted, but it does not budge at all
