I had an NMO mount antenna on the roof of my truck that caught on an
overhead door and was ripped out of its hole.
The metal around the hole is now enlarged and too warped to put the NMO
mount back.


Does anyone know where I can get a rubber hole plug made to fit in the NMO
mount hole?

Or an antenna mount that will is slightly larger in diameter. So that I
could enlarge the hole and then reinstall an NMO base antenna?

I don't know exactly what I want to do, other than I do want an NMO mount in
the roof of my truck.
Does anybody have any other ideas on how to repair or replace this antenna
mount?

TIA

During my career, I generally used Antenna Specialists rubber hole
plugs, Part No. ASP K35 for your application. I'd recommend just
plugging the hole and drilling a new one... not too close to the old one.
Also would recommend a little Silicone RTV on the hole plug before
installing. Do a Google search on the part for vendors, or you could
stop by a local commercial radio maintenance shop and ask if they would
sell you one.

www.tessco.com, www.rfwiz.com or a local mobile radio installer or ham redio
store should have'm; A/S, Antennex, Larson, PCTel...
You might even remount the NMO w/ a cable and screw a cap on it (again same
sources), and drill a new hole.
