Does anyone know how to properly make up a disconnect at the firewall for my GPS antenna?

   

  I have mounted the antenna for my Garmin 396 under the engine cowling. What I don't know is how to splice into the antenna wire and make up a proper firewall quick connect/disconnect that will enable me to take off the cowl without fishing the antenna wire through the firewall every time.

   

  Is it OK to splice the antenna wire? how? which connectors do I use?

   

  Appreciate your ideas.

   

  Ron

I did this with mine....got a bulkhead connector from Digi-key and a standard BNC end and built it up.

  

 Works fine - I'll look for pictures and part numbers.......

I placed my antenna in the baggage compartment with the thought that the 

signal could transmit through the cabin since it is non-metallic.  I bought 

an extra length of cable in lieu of trying to make one up due to the 

intricacy of the connections.
