What side does the antenna bracket go on?

[42GPW]

My radio is mounted on the passenger side rear. What side does the antenna bracket go on?

It goes on the right side, The fording bracket would go on the left side unless you are running two transmitters. The AB15 mount for the 442 reciever would go on the passenger side in front of the wheel. If you have an old setup then the AB15 would mount on the left rear as mine does. The problem with that is you can not mount a fording exhaust bracket.

Lo those many years ago, when I had a "Scout" M151A1, we had two VHF trans and each had its own corner post antenna mount. The one on the left right was mounted normally (to the rear), but the one on the left was mounted on the left side, and the DFK exhaust bracket was bolted to the rear of the antenna mount.

That is interesting, I was going to put off the fording kit because I wanted to keep the rear mount. You wouldn't happen to have any pictures would you?

No, but it's pretty intuitive. Mount the antenna riser, then drill and attach a bracket in the appropriate place for the exhaust. Mount the sugar scoop on the side.
