Excellent!
I was going to ask some things on the lines of this topic today.
Today I got two antennae. These are made in China and fit to the post 67
beetles on the cowl on the LHS. Got one for my daily driver 68 and the other to
keep as spare. These are cheap and the only non VW standard part that I fit to
my car without making a fuss. No choice really.
I was looking for something like the twin mount antenna on the 65
convertible. I had thought that was standard. Good that now I know it was not.
The only option for me is to go for a Chinese made item which looks closest to
put on the 59 ragtop project.
Have some more questions bothering me. Id ask in new threads.
Asad.
