Constructed from high-strength carbon steel with black powder-coat and stainless fasteners, the mounts resist corrosion and flex under strain. They are designed for screw shafts with diameters between 0.448\" and 0.465\" and require a M12*30 thread hole or 0.47\" mounting opening on the vehicle or bracket. The package includes two spring bases, two stainless nuts, and four stainless washers for quick installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this spring base protect whip lights and antennas?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe barrel spring design disperses impact forces by bending rather than transmitting shock to the light or antenna, reducing the chance of snapping during collisions with low branches, tight tunnels, or sudden crosswinds.
