    Early electric antenna and factory fender oil cooler, conflict?

    Looking for photos of early (pre 73) cars with both factory cooler lines and electric antenna in right front fender. At first thought it would seem there isnt enough room for both but Im hoping there is. Any help in understanding how they were mounted together by Porsche would be appreciated

    I believe all the 73 and older 911s I've had have had the antenna mount on the driver's side. What year did they move to the passenger side?

    Electric or 'automatic' antennas seem to've been available early on --- going back to at least SWBs . . . and were installed on the right side fender --- presumably because of space required for the motor . . . fender-fill for the tank 's close-by. Also turns out that Faktory power antennas are kind of a rare option --- typically including an optional radio install . . . and --- from appearances, anyway . . . not terribly durable/survivable

    I have a car that was so-optioned, but that install was removed long ago. I've been looking for someone who still has this installation in their car, to confirm what otherwise only exists in this illustration

    One of my cars back in the day had a broken one and it looked a lot like this:

    If it would be of any help, my '77 still has the factory installed Hirschmann "Auta 6000" power antenna - the car also has an oil cooler if you want to see how the antenna fits with the oil lines. The antenna looks very similar to the one in post #7, and I also have the Hirschmann documents that were in the glove box.

    Let me know if you need pictures. I'm in the process of re-installing the antenna and cooler, but should have them in by the weekend.
