<div name=3D"quoted-content">I also have to wonder why you want to put the=
 antenna on driver&#39;s side=2E I too would put it on the passenger&#39;s =
side=2E Unless you are talking about the rear=2E Still? As for size of hole=
, measure the metal part that goes through the fender or scuttle into the c=
ar, (it&#39;s usually some sort of threaded cast metal)=2E You must use the=
 actual antenna you are going to install=2E The part that is to go through =
the fender may not be circular, but you can extrapolate the circle from the=
 size=2E The antenna may also have instructions=2E Hmm=2E As a rough estima=
te you can use the chrome bezel of the antenna as a guess=2E You don&#39;t =
want to make the hole larger than that=2E In fact, you want to make the hol=
e as small as possible=2E You may be able to install the workings of the an=
tenna from the inside of the car=2E Make a template of the hole you want to=
 make=2E Again, don&#39;t make it bigger than the chrome bezel of the anten=
na=2E Make sure that there isn&#39;t something important under the location=
 where you are going to drill<br/>
the hole, and that you will have enough room in the footwell, fender, etc=
=2E for the antenna motor and shaft and will be able to snake the wire thro=
ugh to the radio=2E Find your location, tape your template on so both sides=
 of the cut are protected=2E I suggest using a pinpoint metal punch to dimp=
le the center of the hole to be cut, then employ a new circular metal cutti=
ng blade with small center pilot hole=2E Insert the bit into VSR drill, hav=
e a beer, grit your teeth, and go for it=2E<br/>
Any problems, have another beer and ask a neighbor for HELP!<br/>
