Geez.. Seems like we should have this info somewhere.

If someone comes up with a diagram, we'll put it in our reference section.

I have the antenna off on one of mine, it is 12.75 inches forward of the furthest back endpoint of the fender (3point corner of cowl,fender,hood) and 2.75 inches off the edge of the fender. it is 1.32 dia. with two round cutouts on each end inline with lengthwise of car the cutouts overall opening is 1.53 overall and are .13 wide. I took some pics and will try and post later today/tonight if I have time. My coupe has the bezel on it and it looks like it will measure the same too.

Thanks 3BIRDSIX I just purchase a reproduction anteena and the guy that sold me the antenna said it was only 7.25 from the back of the fender but the inward was 2.75 and he said that was off a RR fender. The hole in the fender from a aftermarket antenna is only 2.00 inward and 8.50 from back of fender and the hole size is only about 1.00 so I know that is wrong. So I know the 2.75 should be right but I am up in the air about the back of the fender foward.

I need to correct that it is 7.50 from the 3-body part point, (too early in the morning for me sorry) so 7.25 could be right if he is talking from the centerline of the whole to where it intersects the fender which would be a hard to define point on the arc. and to think I measure things for a living I don't know where the 12.75 came from.

OK... That's got me curious, what do you do?
