    radio mount brkt

    can anyone tell or show me where the radio is mounted up under the dash of a '65?    My radio and dash speaker were missing when I bought the car.  Thanks  Jerry

    There is a thin sheet metal support bracket, maybe 3/4" wide, that attaches to the rear of the radio and goes up to a mount above the radio (that is all I can see).  With the radio removed I think you should be able to see the mounting point.

    I have the mounting point on the replacement radio, but I can't see any place to run a strap to under the dash. Thanks  Jerry

    A picture is worht a thousand words.  The attachment for the strap is on the left side of the picture.  Note that I have Custom Autosound radio and had to modify the bracket for fitment.

    Re: radio mount brkt

    A small bracket going upward from the ashtray frame is about the simplest way to do it.  I bought a Mustang once that had the rear bracket bolted to the wiper arm.  Wondered why the radio moved when the wipers were on.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.
