antennas, manufacturer and size/length/hole cutout Options

[porbmw]

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

I am using the Poddig and it is bigger no smaller, and it is a dman fine antenna.. the longer one is nicer 150cm but on the long side.. the 100cm is nice too and actually 7 inches longer then hirscchman, there is a reason Podding used those lenthgs.. to much info. for here..

I wish I had my antenna on the passenger side.. Thats justy unique. My wiper are on the passenger side and I put them there..

Poddigs blow away the aftermarket hirschman.. Bosch blue tip is to Collector Priced.. Yet I have saeen Poddig in VW Muesem for well over 1oo euros..

check this link it is the same 150 cm antenna the guy is selling for $25.00\\ listed in vw museam for 120 euros..

Poddig was the answer to my stock 74 2.0 with the Car Dealer Lot Boy cut (just like alot of everyone elses) "overside" hole..
