I used 8, 5/8" well nuts, with 5/16" bolts sealed with marine 5200 sealant for attachment to my aluminum roof.

Everything at this point is working fine and to my expectations!

I use a Tarheel 100 antenna only when parked.

Tried to post pictures but was declined due to some missing certificate???

AH, the Anxiety !! It has kept me from tackling more than one job. I have noticed that the older I get the less I want to do it, and would pay to have someone else do it.
