As I recall the non Caribbean rear antennas only had chrome nuts and rubber pads or grommets at the rear.
No, the 'factory-approved' rear electric antennas that were
directly mounted on the top of the rear fenders (both Jr. and Sr. Models) had a spacer (insulator) - though NOT the same as used for front fender mounting - that went between the antenna dome nut and fender. This particular spacer was not only contoured to match the crown of the rear fender, but also gave the antenna the desired angle. It did sit atop a pad/grommet (seal).
No images are available in the parts book or shop manual, but the details are listed in the
Acessories section of the 55-56 parts book - see p. 287.
I look forward to seeing what documentation Randy comes up with.
