Wanted: MKII antenna mounting arm

[Prairiehammer]

I am attempting a 'Marshall Mod' on my 1991. I am in need of the antenna mount (the chrome 'arm') that the antenna attaches to. The attachment bolts would be nice as well.

Just to be clear: the MKI antenna mount will not work; it is not long enough. I have a MKI antenna mounting arm if anyone wants to swap.

Anyone? Thanks for your consideration.

I have a couple of mounting arms from my 86. I was using extension spacers to allow the install of the lighted trunk trim rails. I did the Marshall Modification using a strip of 1/4 inch aluminum to replace the arms on both sides of the trunk. If you want one or both of the OEM arms they are available.

Thanks, Les. How much for one?

It is my understanding that the 'left' and the 'right' are identical, correct?

I have but one mounting boss on my 1991, but I just bought a 1987 trunk mount with bosses on each side. I thought I would swap the 1991 trunk mount with the 1987 trunk mount, thus having both bosses for the antenna arms.

I am curious, though; I have a trunk lighted rail on my 1991 and the stock antenna arm is fine. There is no interference between the rail and the antenna on mine. Maybe there is a difference between the different aftermarket trunk light rails?

The mounts that I have are about 7 inches long and I had some interference with the antenna and my side lights. I added a 2 inch spacer to clear the antenna base. If these are the correct mounts, please PM me for price and shipping arrangements.

The arm on my 1991 is about 7½" overall, like yours. Here is a pic of mine as related to the aftermarket trunk light bar. I think the one you have will work. PM sent. Thanks.

Good idea... I have the same problem as Kevin with the antenna hitting the aftermarket lights when laying it down to put the cover on. Sometimes I can be real dense...

If Kevin does not want the spacers you are welcome to them.

If Kevin does not want the spacers you are welcome to them.

 

Thanks, however I'd be surprised if he didn't.... They do look simple enough to make out of 1/2" aluminum round stock...

Since my Firefly antenna does not fold, I have no issue with interference. You can have the longer bolts and spacers, Jack.

Thanks, Les.

Thanks Les, I guess Kev doesn't need them after all, so I'll take them... It'll save me the hassle of making up a set. Let me know what you need for them and I'll 'gift' you a Paypal.
