If I have the correct piece you’re talking about - I measure mine at 1”. Can’t get to the other piece
The threaded portion is 3/4”.......I’m missing the under side fender bracket to provide second measurement, however if it helps, from the top shoulder @ base of thread portion, to center of elbow (cable insert) is 1-5/16”.....& if needed, to bottom base 1-11/16”....overall part length 3-1/8”...measurements off orig 69 AM base. Hope this helps... Jim

Thanks much fellas, I appreciate all the help.
When I first got the car almost 8 years ago, it had the remnants of an angled antenna base/cable that came with it loose off the car.
I foolishly pitched it out since it looked like hell.
Strange situation with the existing hole in the fender for an antenna - it's not where it "should be" (there's an old thread on here somewhere
where folks ripped me ragged about this when I asked about it) but instead a much smaller diameter hole is way back in the corner of the fender:
Weird, but I figured it must have been a dealer installed thing or I dunno… the hole is "punched" vs. drilled/cut in the double
layer sheetmetal in that location; the edges of the hole are obviously rolled nicely vs. sharp and flat, so somebody used something
like a Whitney punch or some such machine on it.
Someone is now reproducing the antenna in my first pic above and I'm thinking I'm going to give it a try, since I know for
fact no straight bodied one will work in this area (no room) and I'm not even going to drill the "correct" hole in this fender.
Thanks again!
