Fold-Down Antenna Mounting Bracket, Silver or Black
The GME MB042 is a genuine heavy duty stainless steel fold-down bracket that lets you lower your UHF antenna in seconds, no tools needed. It's built for anyone who needs to duck into a low car park, garage or shed without unscrewing the antenna every time. Four locking positions give you a fully upright antenna, three folded angles, or fully horizontal when you want it right out of the way. Available in natural silver stainless steel (MB042) or a black finish (MB042B), same bracket either way.
Key Features
- Rugged stainless steel construction means it holds up to years of coastal Bay of Plenty weather and road grime.
- Silver or black finish means you can match it to your antenna or vehicle colour.
- 4 levels of adjustment means you can set the antenna upright, at an angle, or fully flat for low clearances.
- Over-centre lever and locking pin means folding the antenna down and back up takes seconds, no tools required.
- Suits all GME UHF CB antennas means one bracket works across GME's whole antenna range.
- 1 year warranty means genuine GME backing if anything goes wrong.
Applications
- Fleet and service vehicles that need to clear low car parks or garages
- 4WDs and utes with a roof-mounted or bull bar UHF antenna
- Farmers and contractors ducking in and out of sheds and barns
- Anyone wanting a tidy, tool-free way to lower their antenna overnight

Fitting Note
GME's own instructions recommend this bracket be fitted to a dedicated bulbar antenna mounting tab rather than a general-purpose or non-permanent bracket. If you're mounting to something other than a purpose-built tab, check with us first to make sure it's a solid, permanent fixing point.

FAQs
What's the difference between the two colour options?
Nothing except finish. MB042 is natural silver stainless steel, MB042B is black. The adjustment, construction and antenna compatibility are identical either way.
Can I fit this to any bracket on my vehicle?
GME recommends fitting it to a dedicated bulbar antenna mounting tab, not a general-purpose or non-permanent bracket. Check with us if you're unsure your mounting point is suitable.
Does it come with an antenna?
No, this is the fold-down bracket only. You'll need to add a compatible GME UHF antenna, such as the AE4702 or AE4705.
How many positions does it lock into?
Four. Fully upright, two intermediate angles, and fully horizontal for tight clearances like car parks and garages.
Will it rust?
No. It's stainless steel underneath either finish, built to handle coastal weather and general road use.
What's the warranty?
GME backs this bracket with a 1 year warranty.
