I never had to drill the holes for an antenna on any T-3 radio install. Up thru '66 on the T-1's we still had to drill the antenna holes on the side of the cowl. I don't remember about '67 T-1's. My '66 FB does not have an antenna hole, but it has European front fenders installed. They have the side marker holes. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT (It drove) '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ------------------------------------------------ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <type3-off@vwtype3.org> For more help, see http://vwtype3.org/list/
