Description
Vehicle-specific bonnet mounting for secure UHF antenna installation on late-model Ford platforms
The Oricom BBR001 Bonnet Mount Bracket provides a factory-engineered mounting solution specifically designed for Ford Ranger and Ford Everest (2022 onwards) models. This heavy-duty bracket enables secure installation of UHF CB antennas and compatible communication accessories directly to the bonnet, positioning the antenna for optimal transmission and reception without drilling into the roof or requiring complex mounting modifications.
Constructed from 5mm high-grade stainless steel and finished with a black powder coating, the bracket withstands Australian offroad conditions including corrugations, dust, water crossings, and salt exposure. The vehicle-specific design ensures proper fitment to Ranger and Everest bonnet contours and bolt patterns, delivering a professional appearance that integrates cleanly with the vehicle's lines. Installation requires basic hand tools and follows the existing bonnet structure, avoiding permanent vehicle modifications.
Whether fitting out a work ute for site communications, preparing a touring rig for convoy travel, equipping a family wagon for remote area adventures, or setting up an expedition vehicle for emergency communications, this bracket provides the foundation for reliable UHF antenna mounting on Ford's popular 4WD platforms.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this bracket fit earlier Ranger or Everest models before 2022?
No, the BBR001 is specifically engineered for Ranger and Everest models from 2022 onwards. Earlier generation vehicles have different bonnet profiles and require different bracket models. Verify your vehicle's manufacture year before purchase.
Does the same bracket fit both Ranger and Everest?
Yes, the BBR001 is designed to fit both vehicles as they share the same platform architecture and bonnet design from 2022 onwards.
Does this bracket come with mounting hardware?
Mounting hardware specifications not provided by manufacturer. Verify hardware inclusion with supplier before purchase, or source appropriate stainless steel bolts and washers for installation.
Can I mount accessories other than UHF antennas?
The bracket is designed primarily for UHF CB antenna mounting but may accommodate other compatible communication accessories. Verify accessory weight and mounting pattern compatibility before installation.
Does bonnet mounting affect antenna performance compared to roof mounting?
Bonnet mounting provides effective UHF transmission for most applications, though roof-mounted antennas typically offer slightly better omnidirectional patterns. Bonnet mounting eliminates roof drilling while maintaining practical communication range for touring and work applications.
