Anyone know why some 914s have the radio antenna on the right front fender as opposed to the left? I do not see any correlation with model year or market region specs. For instance, here is a photo of an alleged "Creamsicle" (US Spec - 1974) currently for sale in the classifieds (antenna on right):
 ...and here is another US Spec 1974 914 with the antenna placed on the left fender:  Can anyone enlighten me as to what determined location, or did the Karmann factory merely have a single drill located between two production lines? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

As has been noted, the factory provided a hole in the fender well and even a grommet on the left (drivers side) fender, by the hood hinge bracket. Radio suppliers including at least Motorola and Blaupunkt provided instructions on how to install the radios. At least Blaupunkt even offered a template to locate the antenna hole. See attached. I have photos and examples of the radio install kits on my Classics website on the "Accessories" webpage if you need more info.
