I took those instructions and tried to match them up on a fender that already had a hole for the antenna. It didn't line up either. None of the references make sense. I'm not sure the fender with the hole is right. Someone could have drilled it themselves. I'd hate to drill the hole in a good fender only to find out it's wrong. Thanks, Brian
