The Small L Brackets are fastened to the Large L Bracket using
the #10-32 x 1/2" bolts, #10-32 nuts and lock washers.

To fasten the Large L or Small L Brackets to your vehicle, mark
the supporting structure through the appropriate holes in the
brackets, then drill the holes in the supporting structure with a
13/64" drill bit. Attach the bracket(s) to the supporting struc-
ture using two bolts (#10-32 x 1-1/4") and corresponding nuts,
flat  washers,  and  lock  washers.  You  may  also  use  2  #6  sheet
metal screws. Because rough road surfaces can cause excessive
vibration  or  bouncing,  be  certain  to  fasten  the  bracket(s)
securely to your vehicle.

Horizontal Or Vertical Mounting Of Antenna

The antenna can be attached to the vehicle in a horizontal or
vertical  position,  or  at  any  angle  between  these  two  points.
Select  the  position  that  allows  you  to  fasten  the  antenna  to
your vehicle in the most secure manner

Horizontal Mounting  

When mounting the antenna in a horizontal position (or on an
angle between), remember to keep the ANTENNA window as
close to perpendicular as possible to the road surface (ANTEN-
NA window should not be angled up toward the sky or down
toward the road surface). 

Mounting Vertical (with 45º Reflector)

For vehicles that do not have sufficient clearance behind the
bumper (about 5") to mount the antenna in a horizontal posi-
tion, the 45º.  Reflector should be used.

The 45º Reflector is attached to the antenna with two screws (#6
x 3/4") on the side of the antenna housing marked ANTENNA.
Slide the screws through the corner holes on the flange of the
antenna housing and then tighten into the metal reflector (do
not over tighten).
