Distance A
From bolt.
The wire guides are assembled as shown below. Use a 5/16 nut driver or a flat head
screwdriver to unscrew hose clamp and insert band through the two slotted holes.
Note that one hole in the ABS plastic is larger than the rest. This is to allow an eylet
to pass through the hole if needed. This hole will not be used for this antenna so turn
it so it is on bottom or toward the outer edge of the antenna. Put the hose clamp band
around the element and restart the band in the screw housing by slowly turning the screw
while inserting. Placement of the clamps Is shown by distance A and B in the diagram.
These distances are not absolute. Final adjustments may change them.

Orentation of the ABS

matter which side of the
tube you use, however the
antenna will look neater
if they are uniform.
