Re: Help with Retro Manuf. radio fitting
The Silver plate goes behind the dash not in front.
so just the screen pokes thru the hole. the rounded sides of silver plate.
the bracket and holes on the main unit have all kinds of locations so you have to choose which ones work the best. In my opinion they just modified the front plate to fit the 55-59 models and the brackets are off a little bit. So how did I solve that problem>>
Well the front display is ribbon cabled to the main unit. This is so they can use the same main unit for all their radios and just change the front plate.
I mounted the display and silver plate to the dash. mounted the knobs separately as well and the radio main unit is vertically mounted behind the dash. This gave me a whole lot more room to work with on other items such as ac and wipers etc. the ribbon cable makes it possible.
