However, don't most CB radios use the metal case as a common
ground? Then if you mount the metal bracket to a metal car, you
have just created a short circuit... Or am I missing something?
I once (in my young stupid days) mounted an under dash, negative
ground, 8-track in my Positive ground Triumph. I solved the polarity
problem by mounting the 8-track to a piece of wood, and attaching
the wood under the dash... Like I said, stupid... But I didn't have
a Positive ground radio....
