Wil e coyote, do you happen to know the part number for what attaches to the dash plate to support the trimble mount itself, if not could you root out a pic so i could fab one myself? That would be great

No help here, I'm afraid. I had to do mine 'home-made' as well. Every one of those things I've ever seen terminates exactly like the one in 86HUMV's pic, and leaves you having to fabricate something to mount to the CUCV bracket, then bolt the SLGR bracket to it. Lots of bending and measuring and cutting. And beer. And maybe more beer.

Yeah, Brooke over at prc68.com did extensive testing (I've done a bunch too), and according to Brooke the Trimpack family needs a whopping 41db gain through the antenna, and the average Garmin etc. small ones (in addition to the RA-2 and AT-575s etc.) come in around 20. Some will also generate fault codes when hooked up to the SLGR/ Trimpack as well for a number of reasons.

I know my own units are completely deaf and wouldn't lock on to a sat if they were in orbit with the thing unless they have the correct antenna hooked up.

And I need the squarish one. PM me if you want to part with it. Last one I had looked as though it had been through an IED blast.
