Default What am I missing here?

A buddy of mine helped me order all of the parts for the cb but neither of us seem to know what part or mount im missing to connect the coax cable to the mount and spring. Any ideas?

Photos attached.

Thanks!

You're missing the "stud". Here's what I use on the Jeep and my pickup:

I did the same thing. Did the stud solve your issue?

thanks

The one difference I have is that my coax cable has a ring on the end that attaches to the antenna.

What I ended up doing is just going to radio shack and getting a cheap mirror mount antenna bracket and took the stud off of that.

Pretty sure that's Firestik proprietary stuff. Look to them for your parts, bud.

I should have looked into it before, but firestick does have a combo spring/stud mount for both types of connections (fire ring and coax plug). Instead, I bought them separate, but it will work just the same...I just like less parts if I can manage it.

Now I just need to decide where to have the antenna.
