With this style antenna mount you want to add a triangular backing plate inside the panel or the whipping of the antenna will tear it off of the truck. It's a part of the original antenna installation kit that often gets lost when they get removed from vehicles. Easy to make from 1/8" aluminum.

Tom R, There's only 1 backup plate in the installation. Greg's picture showed one of the early and later style plates. In a pinch you could use large diameter washers (fender washers) but you'll want to double or triple them up to add rigidity to the bracket.

The one on the right will clear the rivets on the inside of the fender.
I tried them on left and right fenders with properly drilled mount holes.
I seen a few trucks out there that used the one on the left on outside, and other on the inside.
I had a few of each made...$ 10 ea. for plane one, $ 12 ea on right one plus shipping.

Getting a new batch of plates done to match 2 trucks, and 2 new fenders I have un drilled,
as original set fits some fenders , but other fenders might have one rivet in a different location requiring a mod.
