|
I have a Bob Archer SA-006 antenna (BIG "E"). It is made out of 2024-T4 .016". The shield of the cable is supposed to be connected to the aluminium "E" with a 4-40 stainless steel truss head screw. The only contact to the aluminium is the underside head of the screw. There is pheonelic on the other side.The antenna will be permanent bonded on the inside of the rudder with access only through major surgery, thus I want to try and make this connection a good as it can be.It happens antenna came assembled and the head is right over some painted markings.Should I just scotch bright and reassemble?Perhaps put a #4 phosphor bronze star washer under head?Or??Thx.Ron ParigorisThis is not my install but you can see the #4 connection I am talking about, it is the backside of the top one:http://www.europaowners.org/modules.php?full=1&set_albumName=album272&id=Archer_Troy_1&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_photo.php [quote][b]
