Trying to upgrade my trucks cellular amp, the new Wilson antenna has a 3/8 stud and the rotation mount I bought has a 1/2" hole. Silly question but does anyone have a suggestion on the best way to makes it fit securely? I need a rotating mount as the antenna will stick up above the truck by 1.5' or so. Or if anyone knows a different mount solution I would love to hear it. | ||

You need a part like this https://www.amazon.com/SO-239-...DAPTER/dp/B00LND0M92 It has a nylon bushing to keep the radiating part away from the grounded area. “Government exists to protect us from each other.

Ace Hardware will have bushings or stand offs to reduce the size of a hole. You may have to cut to length if they only stock longer ones. Nylon or Aluminum should work. | |||

Check the local truck stop. They will have a radio area. They should have some type of an adaptor. | |||

Sounds like you need a threaded bushing to make the 3/8" threads fit in the 1/2" threaded hole. | |||

A high school or community college machine shop, or any machine shop, or hell, anyone who owns a lathe, could drill and tap the inside, single point thread the outside of a piece of scrap in about 10 minutes. | |||
