<VV> Manual retractable antenna for '66 Corvair front fender

[Mark Corbin]

Yes, I do. I have templates for a lot of the dealer-installed kits. But the
stock location won't be conducive to installing a fully retractable antenna
(one that will sink into the fender).

coupe, and I never got around to drilling a hole for the radio antenna. 
I've been driving without a working radio ever since then.  Two questions: 
Does anyone have a factory template showing where to drill the hole?  Also,
how much clearance is beneath it?  I would like to install a manual
retractable antenna that is flush with the fender when the antenna is fully
retracted.  I realize that a power antenna is unlikely to fit in the front
fender, but perhaps a manual retractable antenna may fit.  I believe a
manual retractable antenna needs about 10 inches of vertical space beneath
the fender.  Has anyone tried this?  Al Lacki
