    Hello all,

    I have a quick question about hanging a Gear Keeper mic hanger in a 2007 379 with the modern cab style:

    [​IMG]

    I was in a 2004 before and could mount it directly to one of the screws on the overhead light, but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent point in this cab. Is there another accessory out there that would extend off the CB mounting bracket or out of the cubbyhole on top? Or just something I could buy from a hardware store that could do the same thing?

    I have it mounted currently to one of the bolts on the top of the cubby, but it bounces off the trim and I would prefer it hang freely.

    Thank you very much!

    I would think that something like this should be able to clip some place and you should be able to attach the Gear Keeper to it.[​IMG]

    Thanks. Is this something available at a truck stop with a more CB-heavy supply? I've combed over the J here to no avall for additional accessories. I'm thinking of just finding some sort of bracket at a hardware store and adapting it.

    Do a Google search for stainless steel belt clip. Lots of things for sale on amazon.com
