Disco Matt:
A large mag mount with a springer/stinger type aerial will get you started without drilling any holes. You can get gutter mounts or body mounts but you have to pick the aerial carefully then, as the number of places where you can put a body mount and still get decent performance is limited.

Devon-Rover:
As he said above ^^^ the Mag mount will do for a start. But the best is a hole in the roof with a good sealed mount.

Mud_Medic:
Hi Devon

Remember what you want the CB for. I assume it is to keep in touch with those in the convoy or near by. You don't need long range.

I just use the mini springer on a mag mount. It does all I what of it.

No point spending lots of £££ unless you are trying to get every last inch of range out of your set. (and a long aerial will only get bent or broken under trees when laning)

I got fed up with the mag mount being knocked off by low branches and changed to a gutter mount above the back door.
