Need antenna mount location, template no help
 
I"m afraid the location of the hole is critical and the template tells me to,
"position the template flush with the cowl line" and "flush with the mirror bracket" The trouble is, I have removed the mirror and filled the holes. If someone could give me a measurement I would appreciate it. Just remember, the only points of reference are the cowl line and the driver's side windshield wiper.

sorry for the bad picture of the antenna but it's one of the best ones i have. I have no measurements or a template i just put it were it looked good and cleared the mirror and was straight up and down.. hope this helps a little..

I have it under the headliiner and have tried it in several places inside with no results. It's going to have to be mounted on the cowl. Also it's not a side mount antenna and even if it was It would be impossable to mount it there because my fuse box covers that area. My heater covers the right side so no
there.

That side (or both sides) are double walled with 3" or so between them.. just take you fuse box down and you should be able to mount it on the outside and remount you fuse box.. Now i say that with out seeing where and how your fuse box is mounted.. it been a few years since i installed it so i'm trying to remember what all i did.. i'll look through all the pictures i have and see if i can come up with another picture.

Looked though the pictures and saw that i cut a hole on the inside wall to be able to get to the nut that bolts the antenna to the side of the cowl.. the top nut i was able to reach it by going over the top over the inside wall. covered up the hole with a plate and all was good..
