Topic: A-Pillar Antenna Wire Hole

[ninedrvr]

Did the 69 cars get the hole in the A-Pillar for the antenna wire?

[J_Speegle]

Yes believe it was stamped in the panel at the stamping plant

[ninedrvr]

So that means it would have a plug installed as would the radio delete Mustangs

Not a plug but two plugs . One small diameter one from the forward inner structure and one where the antenna wire goes through the hinge structure.

[ninedrvr]

Any pictures of these plugs or reproduction sources?

[J_Speegle]

Don't have any pictures for a 69 and other years would differ. Not allot of examples out there and with the fender off

Need to find some for one of my cars. Just installed one of the other plugs in the hole to fill it for the moment

[ninedrvr]

With the relocation of the antenna to the trunk, what did A.O.Smith do with the 3 holes left over from a mustang type antenna installation? The big hole is the same size as the other hole in the "A" pillar, so another body plug will do there. The question really is what happened to the 2 other antenna lead retainer holes? Any pictures of an original would be appreciated.

I believe that antennas were installed at the dealership so no fender holes from the factory, even for a Shelby.

Did you find any plugs for this?

I figured that you already had your answers from here .   https://www.concoursmustang.com/forum/index.php?topic=22532.msg156244;topicseen#msg156244

I forgot about that thread when I started this one. I remembered the thread and reread it but I'm still not sure what to put in the smaller holes.

Merged the two threads

As mentioned above there would have been no antenna installation done at Dearborn

 Picture collection is always increasing so here is a picture of the passenger side A pillar between the door hinge as requested. On both of the hinges the forward bolt has been removed

Wow!! That picture is great! Answers more than one question.

Thanks Jeff

Thanks glad it helped and that I was able to get a shot of this challenging area of the car.
