CB Antenna - anyone mounted one on a 914? Options

[tomeric914]

Seeing that we'll be putting 2800+ miles on the 914 a couple of weeks (http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=278089) from now at, ahem, highway speeds and may need another form of entertainment besides the 500 watt Bluetooth amp. Has anyone mounted a CB antenna on a 914? If so, what worked for you?

I'm thinking I can fabricate a mount to bolt up to the threaded inserts under the factory "roll bar" meant for the accessory ski rack and easily run the wire inside from there.

That's exactly how I had mine set up for ~15 years. Used a generic aluminum mount that I drilled for the holes on the underside of the roll bar (neoprene washers kept it from rubbing against the paint). The wire for the tunable antenna came in behind the driver's seat from between the top and the roll bar. The mount for the radio fit inside the metal bracket for the "cubby" on the center tunnel; power cord plugged into the radio, was tucked up in lower dash when not in use. The only cutting/drill was to non-914 parts.

FWIW, I had a magnetic mount antenna on the trunk lid of on of our old Volvos--the magnetic base marred the paint . . . .

Hope this helps!
