NGP (No Ground Plane) Leveling Block for Firestik Side Mount CB Antenna

cults3d

This is (what I call) a 'leveling block' for a NGP (No Ground Plane) Side Mount Firestik CB Antenna. My truck cap (Jason brand) is angled and not straight (up) and so in order for me to mount my antenna so it is level and not mounted at the same angle as the cap side, I created this leveling block to account for the angle and get the antenna mounted plumb. Included is the original 123d Design file so you may modify as you desire and of course the STL file. I printed this with the flat side down and with 100% infill for strength. The design is for Firestik brand side mount CB Antennas (http://www.rightchannelradios.com/collections/no-ground-plane-cb-antennas/products/firestik-ngp-antenna-side-mount-kit-right-channel-radios-1). When I mount it I plan on using stainless machine screws and I will put an aluminum back plate inside the cap and bolt it all in with nylon lock nuts. Again...when I do the work, I will update the photos.
