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
