Of the 30 M151A2s I bought, a few had the over the tire mount, but only 1 or 2 had the corner mount, and it may well have been left over from the pre-rollcage days. The problem with an AMU or an ATU on the corner mount was that the antenna would get broken against the rollcage if the antenna was bent or whipped forward. If you are going with the rollcage, then I would suggest you don't bother with the corner mount.

Was thinking about that after I replied. Wouldn't be able to secure the Ant the usual way tied to the front, but would have to go to the side. Since you mentioned it, the AMU that mounts to the spare tire bracket would be better. This way it is (ant) basically clear of the Top, but not dependent on the ROPs. If you could scrounge up one of those and anything else Rad related I would be very interested. I have a little goodies budget for these things
