What's the difference between a Radio Delete and Heater Delete Plates

I was given a few parts, and I'm trying to figure out the difference between the two.
Does anyone have the dimensions on either one?
Are they both the same size with different tabs for attachment?

The one I have has no tabs and no way to attach it.
8" wide

Bill

The radio delete is 2 9/16 inches by 8 inches. Has the two tabs that go in the radio dial holes in the dash(Or they could be missing)

Is the heater delete larger than the radio delete? Or is it just the angle of the picture?

It would have to be larger to cover a larger area.

Re: What's the difference between a Radio Delete and Heater Delete Plates

Radio delete plate. Heater delete plate. Or any other delete plate. Not much difference. Just cut to size, weld them in and do some metal work.

I saw that ad, and wanted to know size difference of the plates. I am guessing I have a radio delete plate without attaching clips.

Re: What's the difference between a Radio Delete and Heater Delete Plates

Are either of these still available? if they are the same size I could modify the radio delete to work on the heater area as I am deleting my heater.

One just sold on the 67-72 parts board. See above for using radio delete in place of heater delete.
