Do you have a mobile antenna for that new car but don’t want to drill any holes? Here’s a great solution that adds the convenience of antenna matching built right into the mount. For years I’ve tinkered with electronic projects at home. Two things have started to impact the fun: a harder time focusing up close (since I turned 50) and the fact that parts are getting smaller. One way around this is to concentrate on physically larger projects—like antennas and related items. I needed a simple antenna mount that could easily attach to my new Volkswagen Beetle without drilling holes. I wanted this antenna mount to support most mobile HF antennas, especially a Hamstick or Carolina Bug Catcher, since these are my current antennas. Additionally, I wanted the mount to include internal capacitive matching which is normally required for short antennas.

Step 1 – Vehicle Preparation
Remove the negative battery cable. With the vehicle on a solid level surface, chock the front wheels. Using a jack rated for the weight of your vehicle, raise the wheels off the ground. Lower the vehicle frame onto jack stands rated for the vehicle weight, making sure the suspension is fully extended. (Do not use wood or concrete blocks to support the vehicle.)
Step 2 – Remove the Coil Spring
Put a jack under the axle on the left side of the vehicle. Remove the lower bolt from the shock absorber. Lower the axle until the coil spring can be removed. Caution: DO NOT put tension or strain on the flexible brake line. Remove the jounce bumper located in the coil spring. The jounce bumper will not be reused. Drill a 3/8″ hole in the center of the lower spring seat for the air line to pass through. See Figure “C”.
