Will the fully retractable antenna from the 71 and newer Javelins fit through the stock antenna hole on a 69 AMX or Javelin? Or does the hole need to be enlarged? Thanks, Jeff

I think we have this in the archives somewhere...someone correct me if I'm wrong, but here's what's going through my mind:
The retractable antenna came out on the '72's (first year to have a factory installed antenna, vs. one installed by the dealer as part of new car prep.) In Javelins, it mounted on the fender. Up to then, it had been mounted in a hole on the cowl. I'm not sure there's clearance under the 'cowl' hole on the earlier cars to fit all the retractable stuff! |

If you know how long the bottom part is on the ant. I can drop a ruler down inside the ant. hole on my 70 Javelin to see what it comes out to if that will help any.

I appreciate the offer but I don't currently have one. I was thinking of putting a parking lift in my garage so I could get both my 69's in one stall. The height I have to work with is close and since the stock antenna is higher than the roof when it's in the down position I thought I could make up a few inches using a factory part. If you could send me the measurement that could be helpful. Thanks, Jeff

Maybe some else can post up the ant. part and I will get the measurement on my car. It may take a few days but will get it.
