14" Antenna Question

tacatc · 08-27-2006, 02:21 AM

Has anyone here ordered the 14" antenna from Mustang Tuning? I just got mine in today but when I went to put it on none of the connectors seem to screw in properly. The one that seems the right diameter does appear to screw in all the way. I din't want to force it to much and have it break off or strip the threads out. Which one of the three is the proper one? There were no instructions just the antenna, a black base looking piece, and three screw connectors.

I had the same problem. Be careful, the screws that come with the antenna are very cheap and soft. While i was putting mine on the screw broke in half. It took about an hour to slowley drill out the broken screw without messing up the threads in the holder. I like the look of the 14" on our cars. I'm still looking for a better replacement. I had to put the stock antenna back on for now.

That is what I'm hoping to avoid. When the one screw didn't fit by just hand tightening I took it out and put the stock back on. I would really like to make this work becuase the 14" does flow better with the lines of our cars.

I bought 2 of the 14" inch ones from Mustang Tuning. One for my car and one for my son's 03. Fit great.
What I did , after removing the stock antenns , was find which sutd fit into the fender hole snugly not tight.
I attached it to the antenna then tightened the assembly onto the fender. I've had no problems with either one of them.
