Retro Manufacturing radio/antenna

[Freighttrain]

Anyone use the retro manufacturing thumb wheel radio and power antenna in their duster or barracuda? I’m trying to get the antenna plugged in and it doesn’t seem like it fits right. The male end seems like it should fit all the way into the female end but it’s not even close. There’s no way I can push it in any further that what’s in the pics. Any thoughts from those who have used it before?

Measure the depth. There is no reason to assume the exposed shell is abnormal. It is a coax fitting "of sorts." --So the shell area is grounded..... as long as both the male prong and shell is making contact, I'd say you are good.

Ok thanks

That looks about right to me. If the male end went all the way in you'd have no way to pull it out except by the wire.

Ok, thank you
