This GME Folding Angle Adaptor is built for antenna whips that run a 5/16" female socket, so you can tilt the whip instead of unbolting it every time you hit a low roof. The adaptor threads into any matching base with its 5/16" male end, giving you a simple hinge in the line. Handy on bullbars where UHF aerials over 1 m clip carports or tree branches often.

The metal body runs a hex profile around 10–12 mm across flats, so a small spanner in the glovebox is all you need. A central pivot screw around 5–6 mm locks the folding angle so the whip stays put on corrugations. The kit stays compact, only adding a few extra millimetres to the mount height, which keeps the whole setup tidy on mirrors, guards, or bar brackets in Aussie conditions.

Q: Does this adaptor include the antenna whip?

No, this adaptor is supplied on its own. The kit only includes the folding angle adaptor body. You will need a separate antenna whip with a 5/16" female socket to use it. It is meant to slot into an existing UHF setup as a small hardware upgrade.

Q: Can I use this adaptor with any brand of antenna?

Yes, as long as the antenna has a 5/16" female socket. The key requirement is the mechanical thread size, not the logo on the whip. If your antenna base is tapped for a 5/16" male thread, this adaptor will screw in. Always check the thread size on your current mount before ordering.

Q: Do I need extra brackets or hardware to fit it?

In most cases, no extra hardware is needed. The adaptor has a 5/16" male thread on one end and accepts a 5/16" female socket on the other. It simply takes the place of a straight stud in many setups. You just reuse the existing antenna base and cabling already on the vehicle.

Q: Is this suitable for bullbar and mirror mounts on 4WDs?

Yes, it suits both styles where 5/16" threads are used. Many bullbar and mirror mounts for UHF gear are drilled and tapped to 5/16". This adaptor screws straight in and lets you fold the whip down when entering low sheds. It helps protect your gear without needing to relocate the mount.

This adaptor fits any antenna that uses a 5/16" female socket. It suits 5/16" antenna whips commonly used with UHF radio setups. Installation requires an antenna mount or base that accepts a 5/16" male thread.
