Antenna attachment

[Indyharleyguy]

Hi I've bought a 1986 CUCV. It has the antenna on it and the part on the front to attach the antenna to it. I don't know what the attachment is. Can anyone tell me what it is?
Thanks

Are you talking about the triangle shaped mount behind one of the front doors that can double as a Yeti cup holder or the little clip at the front or rear that holds the end of the antenna?

Are you talking about a CUCV military antenna?

Doug a bird marked your M1009 with a exclamation mark.
Exclamation mark


Description
Description
The exclamation mark, !, also sometimes referred to as the exclamation point, especially in American English, is a punctuation mark usually used after an interjection or exclamation to indicate strong feelings, or to show emphasis. The exclamation mark often marks the end of a sentence, for example: "Watch out!"
I think he has Strong Feelings for it and has marked the target for others to follow on the bombing raid. I couldn't emphasis that any better myself.

There is a S clip with a green synthetic rope tied to it that was issued to tie down the whip. There is nothing attached to the end of the rope on the bumper end. Troops just tied it off on whatever. In your case, someone got tired of tying and untying the rope and installed that clasp.

 

[Indyharleyguy]

OK I've seen the S clip. I'm trying to find what the clasp I have attaches to. Maybe it wasn't a standard issue? Thanks

That is a simple clothesline tightener that you can purchase at any hardware store. They make different sizes for different size rope.

LOL OK I've never seen one before and thought it was something military. Thanks !

If your antenna is mounted on the rear of the fender, and not just behind the driver/passenger door, it's a 1984 model (assuming everything is stock).

 

[Indyharleyguy]

Yes it is. part is on the way.
