Bulkhead Cellular Antenna (P/N 46730)
The Bulkhead Cellular antenna is designed to be permanently
mounted on the vehicle.
To install the antenna:
1. Drill a 19 mm (0.75 in) hole through the vehicle’s metal
surface, and carefully use a deburring tool to remove burrs from
the interior and exterior of the hole (see Figure 2.14).

Note – Use care to avoid scratching the top surface of the hole. The
o-ring on the cable mounting assembly must seal to the top surface of
the vehicle’s sheet metal. Scratches may prevent the o-ring from
sealing properly and could result in water leakage.
2. Carefully remove the brass nut on the antenna cable mounting
assembly, using care to avoid damaging the o-ring in the lower
surface of the brass nut.
