The new trim ring I bought for my Challenger wasn't shaped right. I had to have my original one rechromed.

I bought Dales Cuda shops P/N ANTKN1Y. Anyone got a pic of a correct E body Cuda antenna ring installed so I can compare? Maybe I am doing something wrong but theres a lip on one side of the ring that forces the antenna to tilt. I used Dales Cuda shop for the antenna because of a few folks said to get it there. I can post a pic of the part when i get home this evening
The chrome guy called to say he wants an extra $100 for the bumperettes ..... nothing is easy and yes it does get old. I think that I may just install the glass and cover it for awhile

I can't accept an incorrect part, if it has my antenna at an angle. So whats up with this base? Did I do something wrong?

Wow, mine's not that bad. The top of the mast is only off to the side an inch or two.

its not the bezel, its the position of the zinc bracket that the cable is attached to underneath. the only way to do this properly is to thread the antenna in and use it to turn the bracket under the panel and with your other hand gently try to push the part of the bezel that sticks out into the notch of the bracket underneath. its takes a few times before you get the right position. or take the cable assembly out altogether and test fit everything on the bench so you know where the notch on the bracket should be positioned so the bezel will sit correctly. good luck

Quote:That is obviously not right. I cannot help you as mine has the factory top bezel but the rest of the antenna is a disguised two way radio antenna. They were used in the era by undercover cops from BNDD, FBI and other groups with initials for surveillance. I am using it for amateur radio. It has been on the car since 1979.

No way
The nut has to sit in the bezel so the bezel forces the angle...period

The underside

this is the issue though, note the angle of the recess/collar around the hole ie the seat for the nut is at a 45 degree angle, just like an AAR
