I got all my hardware direct from Firestik.

As far as I know, the Firering is a Firestik product, and only available from them or an authorized distributor, which I doubt RatShack is.

Depending on what type of mirror you have, they probably have a mount for it.
Thinking that the older Dodges had the metal mirrors with the skinny neck?
If you have the same type of mirrors I have (plastic through and through) they don't have a mount.

The cophased setup I used has little connectors on the ends of the coax that feeds easily through the firewall grommet of your choice, then connects to a "Y" that then connects to the radio.

Do some browsing around firestik.com, they have all kinds of connectors, mounts, cable and accessories.

If I were to do it again, which I probably will someday, just hook up one of the antennas.
Our trucks aren't wide enough to utilize the dual antennas.
You end up being able to hear and talk directly in front or behind you, not much towards the sides at all.

I'm eventually going to remove one of them and get a matching scanner antenna for the other side.

I have two Firestick's mounted at opposite corners of my bed as far apart as I can get them. Both are hooked up with a dual cable setup into the back of a Radio Shack CB (looks like the Cobra 40 channel and can even use the cobra mike). I had them professionaly tuned. I get great reception no matter where the person is. I'm thinking about upgrading from the 3' to the 4'. Not sure yet though.
