Was your ‘65 Originally ordered with a Power Antenna?
If so, there should be holes or possibly dimples in the floor on the RH side under the rear seat cushion.

Here are some photos of a OEM Power Antenna that was ordered with my ‘65.

A few more showing how the cable and wires head over to the Power Antenna secured with clips.

Hi Bill,

The single metal clip that holds the hose for the W/S washer is larger and I’ve never seen that clip used anywhere else on these cars.

The clips in the trunk to secure the speaker wire and Power Antenna wires is smaller and a different design.

Chris,

So, in looking at your two pix showing clips being used for the radio wire and power antenna wiring, the closest thing I can find appears to be this clip from Ames (D203). Is there a better source for the proper clips to use in the trunk for this stuff?

Thanks!

And now googling around I found this link:

https://www.zoro.com/b-line-by-eaton...14/i/G1951092/

With examples that look like they may be closer to correct. I assume anything that has enough of a "pinch" to hold onto the back brace or wheelwell seam/etc should work fine, it looks like the ones in your pix may be zinc also?

Thanks!

The cable clips you found on that ZORO site look pretty close.

The wire harness for the rear lights seems to have a similar clip that grabs onto a body seam.

Here are a few more pics to work with.

Thank you so much! No, it originally had manual antenna. But the floor pan does show dimples and I will check the cover alignment tomorrow.

Now it looks like I need the clips and hold downs for the speaker wire, so I’ll start tracking those down.

I appreciate it, great reference pictures!
