Andy....mine (2nd pic) was an original from CHP but I made the aluminum bracket myself to use the original hole in the car. I think either style would work. There are some in service pictures out there that might show how CHP made them. I need one also if you are manufacturing them.. : )

It's just a piece of metal strap with two holes bent here......and here.....but where? Does this whip clip make my car look fat? Ha....haha no really....i am sure they were all bent and drilled similar but no two were the same. the hole for the Clip will be consistent but the hole for door jamb will vary! |
