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

cults3d

This is a leveling block for a No Ground Plane Side Mount Firestik CB Antenna that I've come up with as a solution to my own problem. My Jason brand truck cap is angled and not straight up, which meant that if I wanted to mount my antenna level and not at the same angle as the cap side, I needed something to account for the angle and get the antenna mounted plumb. To achieve this, I designed and created a leveling block that can be modified as desired using the original 123d Design file or STL file included here. When it comes to printing the block, I opted for a flat surface facing down and 100% infill for added strength. This design is specifically tailored for Firestik brand side mount CB Antennas available from Right Channel Radios (http://www.rightchannelradios.com/collections/no-ground-plane-cb-antennas/products/firestik-ngp-antenna-side-mount-kit-right-channel-radios-1). Moving forward, when I put this leveling block to use, I plan on securing it with stainless machine screws and adding an aluminum back plate inside the cap, which will be bolted in place using nylon lock nuts.
