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 |

I bought the RIGHT antenna - it came with the wrong mounting hardware.
 Hole Size - around an inch  Hole is too big  45 Degree mount? Do I haggle with the vendor for the proper hardware? Buy a new one? What does the right hardware look like? |

many different antennas were installed by the dealers, often times the cheapest they could buy from a supplier to make money selling to the new 914 buyer. The one that should go with the car is a hirschmann mounted on the left front fender just in front of the door. It has a small hole and dedicated hardware. If your hole is bigger, it was drilled for one of these who knows what, aftermarket antennas and there is really no hardware to correct it, but rather find an antenna that fits the larger hole.
