I meant the bolt that attaches the mount itself to the tailgate. As long as the firering shield (ground) has a good connection to the mount itself then connecting the braid to the bolt that holds the mount to the tailgate would work. Really you could probably get away with just connecting the tailgate itself to the body with a ground strap as long as the antenna mount itself has a good contact with the metal of the tailgate.When you say mounting bolt does that mean I could put it on the bolt holding the full setup in the order from bottom to top? Bolt, ground strap, firering, hole in rack, plastic washer, metal washer, clamping washer, spring, quick disconnect.
But given the SWR, try it without it.
