Ahh yes, which wire is which? That just hit me a sec ago. I did not need to open up my coax, so I'm not sure how the wires are colored. Corey should be able to answer that though.
As far as the other part of the question, open up Corey's page again. The antenna is out of view, but it screws in to the top of the spring (in his setup). If you don't have a spring, then yours would screw in to the part where Corey's spring is shown meeting the piece with the hex sides.
That piece with the hex sides on it: its basically just a junction piece with two female threaded ends. The top is where you would screw in the antenna or spring.
So then, from the black antenna mount going up should be a plastic washer, then the coax ring connector, then the hex piece.
Then on the underside of the mount, is another plastic washer, followed by the antenna bolt. The bolt passes up through all that stuff and threads in to the bottom of that hex piece, sandwiching everything all together.
I'll be in the chat room later, around 6:30 PST or so if you want to chat about it!

Has anyone tried the new Firering deal from Firestik? Looked pretty idiot proof, which is a good deal for me.

mertztr
on my coax cable, it has a fitting that screws into the antenna mount (like how it screws into the back of the cb). when i had it on my roof, i just screwed it on, and i was good to go. when i cut opent he coax sheath, would i not have to screw that part on anymore ?
