It'll mount and ground through the 1/2" hole in the bracket I put inside the fender, then the spring and antenna will just poke up through the 1" hole in the fender.

Unless the spring leans over and contacts the metal of the fender, the edge of that 1" hole, that's my worry. Though, as along as it's not the moment I'm transmitting, I guess it won't hurt anything.

I saw those, but I'm going to try to follow the factory antenna lead as much as I can. It shoots straight down a foot before passing though the inner fender and firewall.

Appreciate the advice, as always!
