This GME 1.5mm stainless antenna mounting bracket gives you a solid point to bolt on a UHF antenna base using its 1.5 mm thick plate and pre formed bend. The shape spaces the antenna away from the panel by a fixed offset so the whip clears the guard during steering and corrugations. With a stainless finish, it suits day to day use on vehicles that clock up 100 km or more on dirt and bitumen.

The bracket is cut and bent from 1.5 mm stainless steel so it handles the usual vibration from tyres at 80 km/h on outback roads. Stainless material shrugs off light surface rust better than painted mild steel in salty air around 5–35 °C. Pre punched mounting holes match standard fasteners so you can line it up with existing hardware on your rig and get out there without re drilling panels.

Q: Is this antenna mounting bracket supplied with bolts or screws?

No, this bracket is supplied as the bracket only. This lets you choose hardware to suit your vehicle panels and existing holes. Many drivers already have suitable stainless bolts on hand in their kit. Matching your own fasteners helps keep everything consistent on the rig. It also avoids mixing different head types across your setup.

Q: What material is the GME MB018 bracket made from?

The bracket is made from stainless steel. Stainless steel handles moisture and road grime better than basic mild steel. It is well suited to coastal driving and touring in wet seasons. The material also cleans up well after long dirt sections. For many setups this means less time dealing with surface rust on mounting points.

Q: How thick is the metal on this antenna bracket?

The bracket uses 1.5 mm thick stainless steel. This thickness strikes a balance between stiffness and a low profile against the panel. Thinner brackets can flex more under antenna load. Thicker plates can be harder to position in tight gaps around bonnets and guards. The 1.5 mm gauge keeps weight low while still feeling like solid gear in hand.

Q: What type of antennas can this bracket be used with?

The bracket is intended for standard UHF antenna bases. It features a central hole sized for typical UHF mounting hardware. Most common GME base assemblies will suit that style of mounting. The bracket acts as the interface between base and vehicle body. Always match the base footprint and hardware to the bracket hole pattern before fitting.
