Radio block off plate

Post by MY OL 66 »

I think I would be interested in a white one.

Does $20 plus shipping seem reasonable?

Thank you.

That is sweet!
What about a version with the original holes to re-install an original radio in your plate?
Not perfectly original, I know, but a very nice substitute!
To hold the radio, of course, it would have to welded or screwed to the original dash. I would prefer the screws, personally.

If you wanted you could bond (glue) some of these...

on the back and then make a peice to span the dash hole and bolt up to the studs.

This would get rid of the scews on the front of any welding.

Check this post out... my hole didn't go up into the bend in the dash, but it went down far enough and towards the instrument cluster far enough that I had to "massage" the aluminum plate I made to conform to the curves. I would think it should work the same to match the curves going upwards...
