Default Bracket for mounting CB above rear view mirror???

I'm thinking about mounting my CB above my rear view mirror but, I don't really want to drill in to the plastic header.

Does anyone know of a suitable bracket or one that i could make work to mount the CB and bolt on to that existing metal loop thingy that's already there??

I made mine out of a piece of the OEM bumper after I stubbied it.


It's steadied (kept from swinging) by a piece of .5"x.5" aluminum square stock Velcro'd between the back of the radio and the windshield trim. It's very sturdy.

Does having the CB in that position block viewing at all? I want to put mine there as well, but nervous about bashing my head on it..

It might block it a little with the coil cord but the CB it self should be up high enough it would be out of the way of the mirror and veiw out the windsheild
