Rago Fabrication Ham Antenna Ditch Bracket Extension — 3/4" Hole, CNC Steel, Textured Black

Rago Fabrication's Ham Antenna Ditch Bracket Extension is a CNC-cut steel adapter that lets you mount a ham radio antenna to existing ditch light brackets using a 3/4" hole, made in the USA.

This engineered extension gives vehicle owners a robust, low-profile option for adding amateur radio antennas without drilling new holes or modifying body panels. It was designed to integrate with common ditch light mounts, keep the antenna secure over rough terrain, and maintain hood and paint clearance. Finished in textured black powder coat, the bracket balances strength and corrosion resistance for long-term field use.

How does this extension attach to my existing ditch light bracket?

The extension slips onto and secures to standard ditch light mounting points, creating a stable platform for a 3/4" antenna mount. No extra hardware or permanent vehicle modifications are required, so installation is fast and reversible.

• Fits common ditch light bracket geometries for straightforward alignment.
• Uses the bracket's existing fasteners—no drilling into body panels.
• Ships ready-to-install as a single piece for a quick retrofit.

Will the antenna vibrate or damage my vehicle while off-roading?

The bracket is CNC-cut from steel and engineered to reduce movement by adding a dedicated mounting point away from flimsy stock locations. That improved rigidity minimizes vibration transfer to both the antenna and the vehicle's mounting area.

• Rigid steel construction reduces flex under trail loads.
• Powder coat finish resists abrasion and weather exposure.
• Offset mounting keeps the antenna from contacting hood or bodywork.

Does the extension interfere with hood clearance or door operation?

Rago Fabrication designed the extension with a low-profile offset so the antenna sits clear of the hood and surrounding panels. You can position the antenna further from the vehicle sheetmetal to preserve paint and prevent contact when opening or closing.

• Low-profile slot for adjustable antenna placement.
• Provides clearance to prevent scratching or catching on the hood.
• Adjustable position lets you tune height and setback for clearance.

What materials and finish protect the bracket outdoors?

The extension is CAD-designed and CNC-cut from steel for consistent strength and fit. A textured black powder coat finish adds durable corrosion resistance and a discreet appearance that blends with off-road hardware.

• Precision-cut steel body for repeatable alignment and strength.
• Textured powder coat resists chips, salt, and UV exposure.
• Made in the USA to controlled fabrication standards.

Who this is for: This bracket extension is aimed at off-road enthusiasts, ham radio operators, and vehicle modifiers who want a clean, reliable way to add a 3/4" ham antenna using existing ditch light mounts. It's ideal for drivers who need a sturdy solution that preserves vehicle finish, avoids permanent alterations, and stands up to trail use.
