I installed one on my 72B but I would have to do a partial disassembly to
determine the hole, although I used a pre-existing one. I would estimate it
to be a 3/4" diameter (as a guess) but you should be able to confirm the
size with the antenna as the hole needs to be small enough so the antenna
base covers it but large enough for the inner parts to fit in the hole so it
is not an exact size needed, should be within a minimum and maximum size
range that you need to fall within.

Subject: [Mgs] Installing antenna

Folks,
I am trying to install a Moss retractable antenna in my 74.5 BGT. I need to
know how big a hole I should drill in the left (driver side) fender.
Jim

Dunno about the size but I think you ought to put it on the passenger side.

Rule #1:  If it is an aftermarket part, do not count on it being standard.

Rule #2: When you have a question about the aftermarket part, ask the vendor.

Rule #3:  If the vendor will not answer your tech question, or the 
part comes without installation instructions, send it back for a 
refund (as it is unusable).

Rule #4:  If you have a question about MGA check the web site: 
http://MGAguru.com

Now if you were installing a vintage original Radiomobile antenna, 
you may find the installation instructions here: 
http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/accessories/at112b.htm
     (and the hole for the antenna is 7/8-inch dimeter).

Ditto that. Someone might want a wing mirror on the driver side =
eventually.
