Where can I purchase some decent hole tabs to weld to my RL rack? I need to be able to have a cb hook to one. Thanks. |

Off Road Unlimited in Burbank, CA sells them as seat mounting tabs but they are basically the same thing. http://www.offroadunlimited.com/orustor ... oduct=8374 |

So how does the CB coax hookup to the cb tab? Anyone with a RL Rack care to share pics? Thanks |

the tab is a medium of mounting more so than anything hooking up "to it" there's a stud coupler you screw the coax on, or if you're using firewire, the bolt for firewire takes place of the coax coupler that goes to the bottom of the mount, stud or bolt protrudes through the hole, nylon heel washer goes on to prevent the antenna from grounding to the mount, then a threaded coupler screws to the stud securing coax and antenna mount to the mount itself on the rack or whateer youre using then the antenna has a stud that screws into the threaded coupler there's several variants but that's the general idea the ID of the hole in the tab needs to be within certain limits as to not allow the nylon heel spacer to wallow causing the antenna feed to ground i've been known to put non conductive paint and what not on the inside of the hole on tabs just to make sure that doesn't happen as the nylon heel washers age |

The front fender is better place... it's why I ordered the rack without tabs. |

Okay so it's been 12 days and still no response. I am having real trobule figuring out how to mount the thing. I have your typical coax cable  .And I have seen the above reference on how to mount it to my tab on my RL Rack, but I cannot find where to purchase and how to actually install this. Can i get the insulated shoulder washer at lowes, home depot or ace? Thanks |

I don't know too much, but I do know the "insulated shoulder washer" is just a plastic washer. I purchased mine in a kit, so it came with everything I needed. Good luck. |
