Need replacement NGP mount

I have a '96 Pace Arrow Vision with a factory installed CB antenna mount in the upper fiberglass body with a ground wire to metal. The mount collected water in it this past winter and corroded the cable connection for the antenna. Fleetwood says it is obsolete. Is there another mount available for the NGP that works on a fiberglass body? The truck stops have the mirror mounts or hood/fender mounts for metal bodies. My original was made by Marvel Communications.
  • Thanks for the suggestions. After enough web searching I have found that Marvel Communications has been merged in several subsequent takeovers but their products or ones identical are still being marketed by a company called Everhardt and so I can get what I need in a kit with mount, antenna, and a new assembled cable, #SNGP4SM. My cable was previously shortened in an attempt to set the SWR before I found the mount was damaged. I have already been to Firestik's website but couldn't find out where to buy their NGP mounts only the antennas. Since they are undoubtably the biggest name I assume their price will be the highest too. I can buy the Everhardt kit on Amazon for $48 with free shipping. Can't beat that in my book.
  • NGP - NO Ground Plane antenna.
    Any NGP will work on a fiberglass body.

    Firestick makes a large line of NGP antenna and are probably the best known makers.

    Be sure to use the Firestick cable assembly with it.
    Their web site will tell why, under their Q&A sections.
  • dont know what your looks like but you can take the mirror mount and use it just the flat half with the 'L' on it to hold the antenna. Make sure the ground in the cable is still good or it wont work right. Local shop said to take one of the bolt holes and run cable thru it and seal real well.
