Finishing up a Tusk II conversion and looking for photos specifically of the mounts for the two duke antennas. I know one is mounted on the bustle rack and one forward of the loaders side toolbox . but after searches on other threads and website wasn't able to find anything on how the base is fastened.

I'd imagine its a kit or some type of fabrication? So far this is all I've found though I recall a few from training in Kuwait maybe?

Ah Frenchy somehow I was counting on you!

So I assume that bolt-thru bracket is the same for the left side of the turret basket in front of the box? Looks easy enough to scratch, thanks!

You're welcome Lucas

Here are two close-ups from my archive pics. The DUKE antennas can be fitted to both turret sides :





In both case the bracket differs from the one used on the bustle rack...
