Somebody (won't mention names) was sufficiently astute to notice that my freshly painted, just out of the shop, blazing signal orange 914-6 had the antenna mounted on the "wrong side" (passenger side) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Sleepless nights...how could I let that one pass...and can I live with myself if I don't remedy this. Probably will bite the bullet, patch it up, and drill hole in nice, fresh paint...WTF But before I venture down that road....better see if I get things right this time around. Any advice re: a) most likely correct manufacturer(s) of antennas for 1970 model....I ask, cuz I'm betting on Hirshmann and Bosch...(blue tip???) If so, does anyone out there have nice ones... AND/OR A vendor has some nice looking NOS Poddigs...were they used... It may be a bit important at this stage, cuz I gather the Poddigs have a slightly smaller cutout/hole for mounting..... b)length of antenna....Hirshmann seems to be a tad over 90cm....Poddig has at least 2 lengths....100cm....and 150cmmmmmmmm Hmmmm Thanks for input Paul |

Porsche listed the Blaupunkt & Becker radios as a factory option nos. (see Jeff Bowlsby's 914 website under options), so some 914s must've had them, but they may have been packaged with the car for shipping (radio + speaker/antenna/install kit in 2 boxes), & then the dealer installed them.
Otherwise most were purchased at the dealerships or aftermarket, & installed by dealers or other supplier/self. As I understand it, the antenna on the pass. side was for the electric/power antenna, & manual ones on the LF fender. So you could just go with the Hirshman electric antenna on the LF fender in the existing hole, & be done with it & without filling & drilling yet more holes in your new paint job. There is this source for "correct" Porsche based audio stuff in Costa Mesa CA - Woody's - who sells both on evil-bay & at the big annual SoCal Porsche Swap Meet every year - http://www.bench-racing.com/html/about_us.html |
