GME Antenna Thread Adaptor Male 5/16" to Female M6 for SCANIA and IVECO Heavy Vehicle Installations

Product Overview

The GME AD006 is a male 5/16" to female M6 antenna thread adaptor for use in SCANIA and IVECO heavy vehicle antenna installations. It allows standard 5/16" TPI GME antennas to be fitted to M6-thread antenna mounting points on these vehicles, bridging the thread size mismatch between GME's standard antenna whip range and the M6 mounting hardware used in certain heavy vehicle platforms.

Features & Benefits

  • Male 5/16" to Female M6 thread adaptor — one end accepts a standard 5/16" TPI antenna whip; the other end connects to an M6 female antenna mount
  • SCANIA and IVECO specific — designed for the antenna mounting hardware used in SCANIA and IVECO heavy vehicle installations
  • Genuine GME accessory — manufacturer-supplied adaptor for correct fitment

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Male 5/16 to Female M6" mean for this adaptor?

The adaptor has two threaded ends. The male 5/16" end has an external thread that screws into a standard 5/16" TPI antenna whip's base — the thread standard used across most GME and compatible UHF CB antenna whips. The female M6 end has an internal M6 metric thread that screws onto an M6 male antenna mounting point on the vehicle — the factory antenna mount thread used on certain SCANIA and IVECO installations. The adaptor bridges these two different thread standards.

Why do SCANIA and IVECO vehicles use M6 thread instead of 5/16" TPI?

SCANIA and IVECO are European heavy vehicle manufacturers. M6 metric thread is common in European engineering standards, whereas 5/16" TPI (inches-based) is the Australian and American CB/UHF antenna market standard used by GME. The AD006 exists specifically to resolve this incompatibility on these platforms.

Can this adaptor be used with other heavy vehicle brands?

The AD006 is specified for SCANIA and IVECO. Other European or heavy vehicle brands may also use M6 antenna mounts, but compatibility beyond SCANIA and IVECO is not confirmed — check with GME before using on other vehicle brands.

Which GME antennas are compatible with this adaptor?

Any GME antenna whip that uses a standard male 5/16" TPI thread base is compatible. This includes the majority of GME's UHF CB and CB antenna range. Confirm your specific antenna uses 5/16" TPI thread before purchasing.

Is this adaptor sold as a single piece or a pair?

One adaptor is included per purchase.
