Gang I am about to install my VHF ant on the top rear fuse.
I plan to make a bracket and rivet that under the top skin.. I was going to use .025 and make a plate 3''x4'' and rivet that to the skin.
Is 025 thou good enough or should I go higher?
Chris.
Anyone with a picture or size of the bracket they used?

Chris,
My top rear skin is .016". I used a .025" doubler for the comm antenna. It made the antenna very stable.

Thanks Jay.
I see you put yours inside the rear baggage area. I was thinking of putting mine behind that bulkhead and leave the baggage are free
Thoughts anyone?? I would still have to add a doubler. I was thinking of about .025

Chris,
I started with the location of the ELT antenna. That location was driven by the location of the ELT and the length of the cable. that came with it. I wanted the ELT accessible in the baggage area. So juggling the location of the ELT, cable length and antenna, placed the antenna just forward of the middle bulkhead. The recommended distance between antennas placed the comm antenna forward of the baggage bulkhead. That baggage area is so deep that I don't think I would ever be stowing anything that far to the rear, so I wasn't concerned about the antenna cable being there. There's more than one way to skin a cat, but that's how I did it.
