What if you rigged some sort of brace from the roof extended out to the antennae? To stop the base from flexing the hood.

My biggest concern would be that it might be illegal due to the obstruction to the field of view. Not a lawyer or cop, though, so maybe the obstruction is small enough that it wouldn't matter.
I use a Baofeng UV-82 everyday. I put it in the sunvisor when traveling and it goes with me to work. I don't use an external antenna in the mobile since I won't be transmitting on it. Some hams call...
I'm with Wally on this, look for high efficiency speakers and you won't need a separate amp unless you plan on going all in and using a crossover with a sub etc... I had a set of Pioneer 3 ways...

Multitasking
I have used this for a lot of years and it gives great results and it's not greasy or slick. It can be a little hard to find but my local Ace Hardware carries it. I buy the small bottle and not the...
I would never claim Mitsubishi the company will fold. It will still be around long after all of us are gone. My speculation is about the car company in North America mainly, & I hope that I am...
Nope, but a 10th of vodka and a hydrocodone helps. :D
I go back and double check the battery installer work. Make sure the posts are tight. Otherwise there's really not much info. Did you scan for codes?
And a heads up for next time, the car will...
Hey everyone-
So last Thursday my father passed away from cancer. He was 74.
I've mentioned here and there that I've been driving from Indiana to Ohio a lot. The reason I've been doing this...
When I did the Top Speed Research Project, I wound up driving right at 49.6 miles with the whole dang fuel symbols flashing. I usually wait until it's down to 1 bar or the fuel gauge flashing until...

Hard to believe we just passed TEN YEARS!

I have always been into little cars. When I was 10 I LOVED Mini Coopers and VW Beetles. When I was 16 and exploring the car market, looking forward to getting my license, I'd scour Craigslist late at...
Reminds me of this old thread...
Gear ratios - 5-spd manual vs CVT (speed-vs-RPM-chart)
Bottom line:
Install taller tires, then install Euro-spec 5-speed differential gears (3.55 ratio)...
Ooof. Yeah, I am very OCD about key rings.
I have owned multiple vehicles since I was a young adult. Sometimes, it was as few as two, other times as many as six. Early on, I had a single big...

Past couple years, I have had issues with my Mirage's driver's door lock getting frozen solid in the cold weather.
So I spray this graphite spray into my lock a few times a year. And...
Here's a link to the 3d printing service I used https://www.fiverr.com/s2/509a4694d0
I see the problem, i placed a link to my personal order instead of to the product, here is the correct link:...
The base plan for the spot trace is 10 usd/month. Alternatively Bell Canada offers 12 months free then $5 per month for this samsung gps tracker:...
I can't say for sure but I would think there is room outside of the wipe arms.
I developed very small tracking devices years ago and tested them in buildings, vehicles and obstructed areas. One...

My favourite way to deal with snow. The heated cab makes this chore into a fun activity.
Honda snow blower is my back up. Used to drive a Honda trx420 snow plow, but it will likely be...
Plenty of questions.
The reason for doing this job was to replace the clogged heater core. For examination, the old core was flexed open on both sides. The openings for coolant are tiny, very...
I own a little 3d-printer aswell, a renkforce rf100. I've printed some stuff for in the house, but also for my mirage.
The hubcaps (not sure if it's the right word) are 3d-printed (out of PLA) and...
Daox (this forum's co-founder) is a 3D printing fiend!
He also has a CAD/engineering background and has designed & printed a lot of neat stuff for fun & profit.
Maybe he'll chime in & talk...
