Checked out 2 Truck stops in Barstow for hood mounts, no luck. They were the heavy aluminum ones for truck mirrors. Loads of antenna, coax and hardware. No car, truck or hood mounts. Will check a few other truck stops tomorrow on I-40 near CA/AZ border to Kingman. If no luck, I will try CB shops monday in Flagstaff. Any suggestions? If no luck, I will order one online and should have it when I return next weekend.
I did see metal plates that they use with mag mounts. I did try using my mag mount on the driver's side mirror, but the arm isn't wide enough and it's painted. Perhaps the plate screwed into the mirror arm would give me a good match? Just how secure would it be? If it flew off, it could damage the door. Plus the antenna would be inches away from the mirror andside of the cabover.
