Title: Antenna hole cover?
Post by: jlatessa on April 28, 2012, 08:29:13 AM
Hi folks, does anyone make a kit for covering the antenna hole (top of fender) with a chrome bezel of some sort?
We're not using a radio in our re-do and all I can think of is some thin snap-in type of plug.

This for a 70 Charger,

Thanks,  Joe :shruggy:

You might try going to a hardware store that carries a great deal of nuts bolts spacers etc. You know, the stores that have all the little pullout trays with multi size parts. They make many types of hole plugs from black plastic to SS chassis plugs. Good luck.

MUCH too late for welding! :rotz:

I'll look for something stainless and buff it up.
Plus some sort of gasket.

Thanks, Joe

I used what's called a billet cap, available at any auto store in aftermarket accessories. Glued the cap to a bolt and it was done.

If you don't find something let me know and maybe I can make something for you.  If its stainless I might even buff it up like chrome for ya.  What color is the paint?

Just snap the antenna off. That's what I did. It wasn't intentional but, now I'm thinking it doesn't look half bad. :icon_smile_wink:

The bottom one reminds me of a sink stopper plug.
