Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will TLM-2-BT50 fit other vehicles besides Mazda BT-50?
A: TLM-2-BT50 specifically engineered for Mazda BT-50 front left-hand fender—not recommended for other vehicles. Compensating angle matched to BT-50 fender geometry may not provide proper antenna orientation on other vehicle fenders. Mazda BT-50 and Ford Ranger T6 share platform architecture during certain model years potentially enabling cross-compatibility, however RFI offers dedicated TLM-FR for Ranger applications. For other vehicles: TLM-7 universal compensating angle bracket suitable for various vehicles, TLM-4 universal Z-bracket without compensating angle, TLM-HL-L vehicle-specific for Toyota Hilux 2016+. Purchase vehicle-specific brackets for optimal fitment, use universal brackets when vehicle-specific option unavailable.
Q: How does TLM-2-BT50 compare to TLM-7 universal compensating angle bracket?
A: TLM-2-BT50 vehicle-specific for Mazda BT-50 front left fender with 1.5mm steel, black powder-coated finish, 6mm cable slot, and 60mm length. TLM-7 universal design for various vehicles (front left or rear right fender) with 1.4mm steel, natural stainless finish, no cable slot, and 50mm length. Choose TLM-2-BT50 for Mazda BT-50 installation prioritizing vehicle-specific fitment and integrated cable management. Choose TLM-7 for non-BT-50 vehicles or when dual-position mounting flexibility required.
Q: What Mazda BT-50 model years does TLM-2-BT50 fit?
A: TLM-2-BT50 designed for Mazda BT-50 application—specific model year compatibility depends on fender design consistency. Most suitable for second-generation BT-50 (2011-2020) sharing platform with Ford Ranger. Third-generation BT-50 (2020-present) based on Isuzu D-Max platform may require fitment verification. Verify compatibility with specific BT-50 model year before purchase by measuring fender surface angle, test-fitting bracket, or consulting RFI technical support. Consider universal brackets (TLM-7) if vehicle-specific compatibility uncertain.
Q: Does the 6mm cable slot work with all antenna cable types?
A: TLM-2-BT50 6mm cable slot accommodates standard UHF CB antenna coax cables: RG58 (approximately 5mm diameter) and RG8X (approximately 6mm diameter) fit comfortably. PL259 connectors (15-20mm diameter) exceed slot width—thread bare cable through slot before terminating with connector. Installation options: pre-thread cable through slot before mounting bracket, or mount bracket first then thread cable through. Slot provides cable protection from UV exposure and environmental elements while maintaining organized professional appearance. Use standard RG58 or RG8X cables for guaranteed compatibility.
Q: Can TLM-2-BT50 be mounted on right-hand fender instead of left?
A: No—TLM-2-BT50 specifically designed for front left-hand fender with directional compensating angle. Right fender mounting not recommended as compensating angle engineered for left fender geometry will not provide proper antenna orientation on right side. Left fender provides most common installation configuration with convenient cable routing to driver-area radio. For right fender mounting: contact RFI for right-hand version if available, use universal brackets (TLM-4) with custom bending, or consider alternative mounting positions (roof, bull bar). Use TLM-2-BT50 on front left fender as designed for optimal results.
