Why aren't you putting the antenna in the front?

Thanks, Since I am going to drill the hole…I wonder if there is room to move toward the trunk so that the hole is flat…

Thanks Ron, I have nothing…

 

I may have to take a block of brass and make a part and sent it out for chrome. Yuck!

James, I have a 1965 300 which is similar in that the antenna rides a slope.  I needed to replace my antenna with an aftermarket, albeit a front, but I needed to use the original trim bezel to match the body slope.  I say this because I do not know if you have an original trim bezel or not, but that is an important consideration.

James,

 

The hole is one inch but it goes up the slope of the fin. See the attached pictures.

 

I was lucky to get the original antenna back from the seller of my car.

 

Nick.

Can anyone tell me two things about the rear mount antenna?

 

1. What was the factory hole size.
2. How far down from the end of the chrome mini-fin is the center of the hole?

 

I assume that it is equal distance from the fin to the trunk edge.

 

The aftermarket electric antenna’s want a one inch hole. That would be tight in that spot.

 

Thanks, James
