I got my antenna and NMO mount along with the proper drill bit that I barrowed to put the hole in my roof. I'm going to mount this in the roof of my Ford Ranger. My question is that I bought the standard NMO mount without the coax so I need to solder the coax to the mount before I do anything. Has anyone done this before? Any pointers? I guess the center conductor goes to the center of the mount and the shield goes to the part that clamps onto the outer coax?
There's also a plastic piece that covers the soldered connection after its soldered. Anyone?
Has anyone done this to a ford ranger and is there anything IN the roof I need to worry about? I'm going to be shooting for the back edge of the roof of course on top and in the middle side to side. I know there's a light in the back of the cab but do these wires run along the inside of the roof or go down the back of the cab ?
I'm just trying to cover all my bases before I drill a hole in my roof!!!
Any help would be appreciated!
