Spring Mount

[picnic42]

I am looking to find a way to mount a SO239 cable assembly "on top" of a large (CB style) spring.

I do not want to feed the antenna thru the spring, only feed the antenna thru the SO239 assembly... but have the spring relieve some of the non flex issues of the antenna.

The issue is I have a Jeep JK 09' and just purchased a Diamond SG7900 antenna (which has no flex ability) and I am trying to protect it a bit. I am not doing 4 wheeling... but do get out in the country a bit. I mostly use the Jeep as my daily drive.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction here.

I have never seen a mount on top of a spring. The spring is usually a part of the whip. To do so you'll have to come up with your own engineering/fabrication.

Big CB springs have a braid wire up the center, and over time they WILL break. I imagine over time your coax will do the same.

Good luck. Would like to hear if this comes to fruition.

Thank you for your reply... I am gonna try to work on fabricating something up on this... I think it is a good idea... to have the spring but not to have it as part of the transmitted signal.
Again...
Thanks!
