After rethreading the old shaft you could use a 3/8 24 stud and nut to get back the inch needed to replace the broken piece. My local Ace Hardware has them in the nut and bolt area.
Glad thw rci radio was a easy fix. And ive been looking everywhere and can't find thw exact length stock stinger for the scb hustler. Can find the shafts but not thw stinger.
@@jrichtruckincbtips Yea inwas looking at just getting the wilson stringer. Just didn't know if the tip size would cause anything different for swr and if the whip itself was same in size diameter. But there always the the local truck stops we fuel up at..
@@jasonbull32420 the Wilson's tend to be a little whimpy. The original SCB stinger is about 26" x 0.10 " or 2.5mm. I have one that's 25" and had to get one at the local cb shop and it was probably 9" longer and had to cut it down to the swr tune.
Worst problem I have with the scb is the screws strip easily also if I run my galaxy dx98vhp full bore it squeals but doesn't with a predator 10k or cheap 4 foot fire stik 2
Another truck has the 400 watt Ranger and the scb with no issue. However the Coronado I had, the driver that got that truck after me was getting some sort of feed back through his 959. I'll see if he corrected it.
Personally I like the antenna doing to it only being 4.5 foot and a spring on the whip I get a good 10 miles in wv hills of the other person has a 50 watt radio or so ...but nothing I have ran has beat a predator 10k 27 inch shaft
