antenna

I notice that there are very few, if any, Spiders with the antenna still mounted on the front left fender. Is there any reason for this. I have a '69 124as. thanks

The 72 had the antenna mounted front passenger but I closed it off and will put it on the rear driver side.
I can't remember seeing one on the front driver side

Mik, that comes from breathing all those solvent fumes! :lol: I'm trying to remember, but i think my 70 came with no radio. the only antenna hole was on the PS side of the cowling. dont remember if i drilled it or if it was always there. this is also an example of too much solvent breathing :mrgreen:

My '72 had the antenna in the left rear because that is where the dealer put it. As far as I can recall, a radio was a dealer installed option and the antenna mount was not pre-drilled at the factory.
