Slantback Antenna Base Housing

Post by doberer » Sun May 04, 2008 11:49 am

Hi all. I was wondering on the slantback, where the antenna base bolts to, is a part number that can be ordered or if it is part of the slantback shell itself. It looks welded on.

Attached is a pic of what I am wondering about. If it is a separate part number by chance does anybody know it?

If there isn't a part number available, can somebody sketch up some of the critical dimensions?

Thanks

Throw an MX-6707 or an AS-3900 antenna base in the hole and be done with it. If you don't want an antenna base there just cut a disc and bolt it into position to cover the hoel. The "well" if a part of the sponson and just gets capped off if no radio is being used.

I saw a few of these sponson antenna mounts lying around loose when I went to My Humvee last week end.

Try sending Paul a fax and see what he wants for one...

I think he needs the part of the sponson that the base bolts to, not the antenna base itself. He may have a big hole in his sponson.

So Brad, When are we going to see the pictures from your archelogical dig through My Humvee?

Cheers,

This insert was welded into my sponson. If you can get the part prior to assembly you could just put some sealant on it and bolt it in place.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry if I confused everyone. I will be getting an H1 that has a calgold slantback top and want to put that type of antenna bucket in it....kind of a more military look vs bolting it to the outside of the rear tailgate fender.

If anybody can help with the dimensions I can autocad something up and get it made or see if myHumvee (who's site doesn't work by the way) has something not too expensive.

Update...I just saw a prior post that Beltfed might have one or myHumvee. Trying beltfed first for the antenna cup.

Soon Clarke, soon!

I didn't bring my PC and download cables to the US with me, so I'll upload them when I get back to Oz (After 15 hrs in an aluminum death tube above the Pacific!.... :shock: )

I'll also look for those GMV photo's too! Promise! :D

Here's a couple of pics Clarke.

First, this is the office where the phone rings unanswered and the emails come in:

And this is a photo of the inside of the smaller of the warehouses:

I've got to find the lead for my video camera so I can download some more images...

Holy Crap! I take it there is no organization or plan to any of this?

Clarke,

Organization...no, plan...no, but just ask him for something and he will crawl over piles of parts, dig down a foot or two and come up with what you ask for. I am always in awe when I visit Paul. And this is just a small area outside of his office. The main building is almost a block long.
