Raided the parts bin at work and cobbled this together with a cable gland and soffit vent. 100% reversible. Just had to slightly sand down the threads of the cable gland to fit in the hole.

That's cool. Won't work with a Firebird since it would be too far away...

Cool, wonder why they got so big. Certainly makes it hard to find a spot for it. Mine is puny though.

I use an iSimple bluetooth FM modulator for hands free calling in both my TA verts, and the Mike is mounted at the top of the driver's A pillar. Even top down, I can easily carry on a conversation.

Vent from Amazon. 0.8”: Can’t remember the gland size exactly. I just tested a few at work until I found one that fit. I think it was an NPT 3/4”
