I'm looking into mounting my 2m/70cm radio in my jeep (a Yaesu FTM-400DR.) Since the radio has a detached face, its not really suited to a high mount like the ARR mount. So I figured where the radio body will mount (on the back of the center console, above the rear drink holders.)
(also, for reference, my 2006 is a RHD model)
So looking at the radio face, I figured a good place would be one the upper edge of the center dash column. Basically above and to the right of the AC/heat registers. (to the left for your normal LHD people...) I discovered a RAM ball mount for the rear of face:
I was looking at getting a standard RAM base and short arm, but I saw the Rugged Ridge tray, and I thought, this already has a ball. Its centered, which is less than ideal, but then I noticed that the ball is 17mm!?!?
Does anyone know if a standard RAM arm can grip the 17mm on one end and the 1in on the other? Alternatively, has anyone seen an arm designed for 17mm and 1in at the same time?
