This coming from an infantry grunt that had the pleasure of learning ASIP, SINCGARS, HARRIS, MBIRTR, and SATCOM radios in afghaniland. Our company RTO blew major *****. I blame it on his lazy eye.

M&G at RC tomorrow and sunday, NACfesters only

PM the guy, his forum is closed now due to fraudulent allegations, but if you read through all posts, he makes and sells a good product. RescueGreen, Jeep I just bought has one that this guy sold to PO, and he had nothing but good to say about it. You want mount only, $36 shipped, just specify if you want driver's side or pass side...
