70 CHALLENGER ANTENNA BEZEL ISSUE - 10/05/21 04:46 PM
i have 1 nos bezel [complete assy nos also that came with it. ] and one repro bezel... both make the antenna mast lean outwards from the body.. is this normal?..or is there a different bezel that will make the mast sit straight up? thanks guys

Just rotate the bezel 90 degrees

Just like PhillyRag said. You can see the the bezel has a slight height variation and it has to be correctly oriented on the fender to make the antenna point straight.

Seems i tried to put it in opposite and it would not fit in the fender...and since the bezel has a cut out inside it at an angle, if i did flip it , it looks like it would bend mast inward too far....will look again tomorrow thanks guys..

I have a new reproduction that doesn't fit the contour of the fender. I had to have the original one re-chromed.

MINE IS AN NOS ORIGINAL...but i am not sure its for a 70 non t/a challenger...i cannot find a single picture online of a 70 challenger pass fender with an original antenna..all seem to have the cheap aftermarket ones..

flipped it 90 degrees and the antenna is way too far leaning inwards now..i tried 3 other [unidentified] nos bezels i have ,...and one repro supposedly for a challenger , and all are making mast lean one way or the other a ton!..
sadly i took car apart 35 yrs ago and do not know where original is...i prob tossed it because i had bought this nos one... does anyone have a pic of a known correct original non t/a 70 challenger bezel?...
the repro guys show all different kinds and styles so i have no way to know whats right... thanks
