Shakespeare 414 Rubber Shim Kit for Antenna Ratchet Mounts

The Shakespeare 414 Rubber Shim Kit is a set of heavy duty rubber shims designed to fine-tune the angle of an antenna ratchet mount. Each shim adds a half-notch of tilt, equal to five degrees, letting you dial in the exact mounting angle needed on a sloped or uneven surface. The shims are stackable, so multiple shims can be combined to increase the total tilt, and they can also be stacked at opposing angles to add height, which is useful for clearing obstacles near the mounting surface.

Each kit includes four shims: two sized for front-to-back adjustment and two sized for side-to-side adjustment, giving full control over compound mounting angles. The rubber construction provides a durable, weather resistant fit between the ratchet mount and the mounting surface, helping the antenna sit securely at the desired angle without additional hardware. This shim kit is intended for use with ratchet-style antenna mounts and is a simple, low cost way to correct or customize antenna angle after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in the Shakespeare 414 Shim Kit? The Shakespeare 414 kit includes four heavy duty rubber shims: two for front-to-back adjustment and two for side-to-side adjustment of a ratchet antenna mount.

How much tilt does each shim add? Each shim in the Shakespeare 414 kit adds a half-notch of tilt, which is equal to five degrees.

Can the shims be stacked for more tilt? Yes, the rubber shims in the 414 kit are stackable, allowing multiple shims to be combined for a greater tilt angle.

Can the shims be used to add height instead of tilt? Stacking shims at opposing angles adds height rather than tilt, which is useful for clearing an obstacle on the mounting surface, per Shakespeare's design for the 414 kit.

What is the 414 kit made of? The Shakespeare 414 Shim Kit is made of heavy duty rubber, chosen for durability in marine mounting applications.

What color are the shims? The Shakespeare 414 Shim Kit shims are black.

What type of antenna mount does the 414 kit work with? The Shakespeare 414 Shim Kit is designed for use with ratchet-style antenna mounts.

How much does the Shakespeare 414 Shim Kit weigh? The Shakespeare 414 Shim Kit weighs 0.23 pounds.

Does the 414 kit come with mounting hardware? The Shakespeare 414 kit consists of four rubber shims only; it does not include a ratchet mount, which is a separate item.

How many shims are needed to correct a mounting angle? The number of Shakespeare 414 shims needed depends on the amount of correction required, since each shim adds five degrees and shims can be stacked to combine multiple half-notch increments.
