Another Original Radio Question?

[Chevorton]

How does an Orginal Radio's mount to the Dash on the front? I know there is a bracket in the back, but how does it mount to the front of the Dash? Does it just sit in the wholes, or is there a bushing that screws onto the knobs to secure it better to the dash?

Please let me know.

Thanks,

There are metal "cups" which sit in the holes and the radio stems go in them. Nuts then go on stems and hold the cups to the front of the dash and the radio. The bracket in back is important too.

Thanks RSAVAGE, can I buy those cups anywhere? can I buy the Bracket in the Back anywhere that you know of?

Please let me know.

The rear bracket is not reproduced, and is a little hard to find.

I was able to get one from the for sale section here on the board.

Don't forget to use the proper speaker for the OEM radio!

I don't know if they are reproduced, but I am sure that one of the Board members would have some used . You could post a want to buy but you have to be a subscribing member ($25 cost to join). I don't have any extras to offer you.

Thanks Vectorit, so the radio only works with the OEM Dash Speaker? It will not work with regular speakers?

Please let me know.

Thanks Vectorit, what does the bracket look like, is it a long metal strip with a bunch of wholes in it?

Please let me know.

Correct.

Call these guys to get your proper speaker.

Using a modern speaker will damage your old radio.
