Hi, I've searched through the Forum to no avail, what I'm after is a spring loaded clamp to clip onto the RB aerial groundplane plate and the other of the clamp to clip onto say, a fence panel - basically a double ended spring clamp for use outside.
Can anyone help or suggest where I might get one or how others solve this challenge?
Many thanks
Assuming this is not to be permanent fixing and you will be removing/moving it on a regular basis, a bit of DIY will sort it.
Couple of heavy duty crocodile clips - as used on car battery jump leads - and a connecting shaft between them
As there's virtually no weight in the plate and aerial, a length of stiff plastic, aluminium, wood or whatever you've got lying about would suffice. If you need one clip horizontal and the other vertical then a right angled piece of metal.
Bit of scrounging needed :-)
Thanks Bratters, yes I'm looking for a non-permanent fixing for use in the garden when the WX permits. Two Crocodile clips and a metal or plastic flexible shaft would be perfect but are there any 'manufactured' solutions?
I'll put my thinking cap on.
Thanks again..
Is this what you're looking for?

Thanks Rod, that looks like something that could be used. Has anyone used this bit of kit - any comments?
Hello Tramline
Yes I have one of these's, Its ok with a short pole - Like shown in the above site, but if you put a longer pole in place it can get a bit flimseey.
But a very good buy if left as seen in the photo.
