1960 Antenna Mounting location

[Peter K.]

During my restoration I was forced to replace the left side upper rear fender, as my original was damged beyond repair. The new part does not have a hole drilled for the antenna mounting. Can anybody give me a dimension from the rear of the taillight housing area in the fiberglass to the center of the mounting hole?? and the diameter of the hole?

Thanks again!!

If you can wait until the weekend, I will be glad to measure the location for you and get back with you. Maybe someone will respond befor then.

On my '58, the hole is centered 3.5 inches ahead of the forward edge of the taillight housing, and on the center line of the taillight. ... Al '58 245hp
