M151A2 Antenna mount parts question

Unread post by Col Batguano » November 11th, 2023, 4:27 pm

I ordered an NOS Antenna mounting kit but need help finding out where parts go. Where do the two L shaped brackets go and where does the square plate go ? Also the long bar where does that go as well. Thank you. Rob ImageImageImageImage

Thank you. So the two L shaped brackets go inside the sponson and line up to the mount assembly.

The braces go inside of the body and sandwich the body between the brace and the antenna mount. Same with the radio sponsons and the straight braces. This keeps the bolts from tearing the metal from the inside.
