That install looks real nice.
I didn't know about the lifter you used before now.
Did you make your own base coil or use the one supplied by Tarheel?
I wound one of my own, over a broom handle, somewhat larger than the one supplied and improved the antenna characteristics.
Now that your in picture mode, how about one of the base coil and its mount to the assembly. Her's a couple bucks for your trouble.
