UHF CB Radio aerial wiring

[Leighw85]

Hi all
when i got my Patrol it had a GME Electrophone UHF in it with the mounting bracket at the front for a aerial. There is a base where the aerial screws on. BUT the wire is loose, not connected to anything. Can i buy an aerial that will screw onto the base and just connect the already ran wire to the new wire on the new aerial?
I hope i have explained this ok hahaha

cheers

you can reconnect the coaxal wire to the base. ...or you can buy a whole new base and arial already connected and just bolt it on and rerun the wire through the easiest way is to conect the new one to the old one by installation tape and pull it through the firewall under the dash

thanks mate.
Im really trying to avoid running the wire to the head unit if i can.
I would have to run it up the door trims and into the roof as the Head unit is up on the roof.

To put it easier lol
can i join the Coax cable that runs from my UHF to the new aerial at the front of the 4x4?
As the head unit is in the centre roof storage compartment i would have to run the cable a fair way to replace the whole thing.
If i can join it at the front where the bare wire is that would be great

hope i put it better this time

yeah i just have a spring base at the front with no aerial.
So just solder it to that base and screw on a new antenna?

Might need to put a pic up of the type of base so we can see what we are looking at if its the type i thinking of the base may need to be pulled apart and then soldered
