Re: WTB Radio Delete Clips
Clips that hold on the radio delete plate for non-radio trucks.

If you need any further assistance with that please contact any Admin for help. Heres another dumb question, what do these clips attach to? It looks like there would have to be a bar of some sort right in the radio hole. I do not beleive mine has that (radio in currently) Last edited by leddzepp; 10-28-2013 at 01:06 PM. |

Re: Radio Delete Clips
The clips rotate with the radius that slides up under the metal edge that has been rolled over on the cover. On the clip is 2 spring clips that are formed at 90 degrees to the slide pieces and those clips are supposed to pop into the 2 round holes in the dash.
If you find a source for the clips, let me know because I've only got 1 clip also. |

If your radio hole has been cut out for a later style radio the delete plate will not work. The original radios have a rectangular hole for the faceplate and a round hole for the knobs to stick through on each side. LockDoc

Re: Radio Delete Clips
That is correct. The original (radio delete) dash had a small rectangular hole with 2 round holes on each side. The radio delete plate covered the entire area and the clips popped into the 2 round holes.
Some dashes have been altered over the years by hacking and wacking to install different radios. |

Re: Radio Delete Clips
I'd bet a couple of modified Butterfly molding clips and a homemade cross brace would fix that up pretty easily.

Re: Radio Delete Clips
Here's a pic I took of my cup holder when I had the radio off. It shows the stock radio openings.

Re: Radio Delete Clips
Thanks a lot for the responses guys, lots of help.
I think I may still be good. 68gmsee, that pic is exactly what I needed to see to get my dumb slow brain to understand how they clipped in. Thanks! |

Re: Radio Delete Clips
High strength Velcro strips @ your hardware store would work without breaking the bank.
