Just finished up the relcation brackets for the LCA's.
I did not have to cut or bend the brake bracket, I just eye balled it, and it looked like if I used a little persuation I could get the bracket to fit inside the outer brake bracket and outside of the inner side of the brake bracket. It worked!
That BMR part is made to measure and you can use the existing brake bracket without cutting or bending. It just takes time to line up the holes and get the bolt through. The whole job took three hours.
And, the power antenna is done - with a seperate toggle switch.

Hey nice work. So you put one side inside the LCA and the other outside? Sounds like a neat trick. I thought of that but was sure it wouldn't work. Your eyeballs must be better than mine! Posts: 3403 | From: Woodcliff Lake, NJ, USA | Registered: Dec 2000

Just some cursing, and tapping with a mallet and some elbow grease, the hardest part was getting the original bolt and spacer through. I just didn't think it needed to be cut. Actually Rock did the same thing with his '99 SS. It can be done, just patience. Posts: 5558 | From: Windsor, Ontario. Canada | Registered: Feb 2000

Where did you place the switch. I am curious about that for when I listen to cds on the road.

I put the switch under the dash. I drilled a small hole in the plastic housing near where you plug in the GM diagnostic computer. I can reach it no problem and it's out of the way.
I did run seperate power lines, I didn't like tapping the amp power line, and I used a seperate ground. I bolted the ground wire to the antenna mounting bolt. A nice mod, easy to do, just be patient running the wires. The hardest part is fiddling with the jack and spare tire getting it all back together! One day I'll post some photos.
