Have a look in the May (I think) Kitplanes. There is a very simple, make it
yourself GPS antenna, claimed to work better than an active antenna and
costs zilch. It would seem to be ideal for glareshield mounting, but paint
it matt black! Cheers

Help-
the WD - 641 roll bar bracing system on plans SC-2 show a F-6109 plate riveted
onto the f-6108 central rib and then a piece of 3/4 x 3/4 angle bar riveted onto
the other side of the f-6108.
The WD-643 tube weldment then bolts through this area bit the plans don't make
it clear which side of the F-6108 it goes.
I suspect it goes on the F-6109 side but then which side of that does it go- sandwiched
between the rib and the F-6109 plate or on the outside of the F-6109
plate.
Also - it seems (though not anywhere in the instructions) - that a lot of cutting
of the top skin and the F-6105 bulkheads are required to get the angle and
the Wd - 643 into place?
Anyone know the truth out there??

Just did this a couple of months ago....you're correct as stated below.
My plate is on the passenger side, the angle is on the pilots side, the weldment
fits between the angle and the upper skin rib through a slot in the fwd topskin.
I used some spacer coins to space the angle from the rib to allow the forward
brace to be removable...
Pictures? Zap me offline,
Ralph

As noted by Ralph Capen, the F-6109 goes on the passenger or co-pilots side
of F-6108. This is indicated in the second detailed drawing from the left at
the bottom of SC-2 where F-6109 is shown in a dotted outline. In this same
drawing the piece of 3/4 by 3/4 angle is incorrectly shown with the flange on top.
In section B-B above this detail, the correct position of the angle is shown.
This same section B-B also shows W-643 behind the angle and in front of
F-6108. This places the brace W-643 on the left or pilots side of F-6108 as stated
by Ralph Capen. By placing the brace on the left side of F-6108 no cutting of
F-6108 flange is required.
The instructions also call for spacers to preclude bending the angle to make
room for W-643, as noted by Ralph.

Shirly: I don't claim this to be the truth, but the plans show the Wd-643 on
the right side of the F-6108 and the 3/4 x 3/4 angle on the left, which means
you have to cut away the top flange of the F-6108 for the Wd-643. I checked
with Van's and then reversed these so the flange of the Wd-643 is on the left
side of the rib and the 3/4 x 3/4 angle is on the right. Now I just have to
have a narrow slot in the top skin for the flange of the Wd-643 to fit through.
This just seemed to make more sense to me and Van's said it was OK either
way. If you do it the way I did you will find that you need about a 1/8 shim
where the 3/4 angle bolts to the 3/4 angle at the firewall. Hope this helps.
