MG MGB Technical - Mgb in dash radio

Hi all

Just bought a 71/72 roadster - it has the facelift interior with vents in dash and centre console / armrest

I would like to loose the centre console - fit the earlier speaker console and fit the radio In place of the vents in the dash

Now to a mgb novice like myself the dashes look pretty much the same other than the rocker/ toggle switch change

Can anyone tell me how a period radiomobile radio fits and holds into the dash ? I can't find any info on the net

Also any experience of doing this would be great


Thanks

Richard,
You will have to make a blanking plate for the bulkhead vent holes from the air box. But most radios are capable of fixing with only access to the front. Just make sure switch wiring is out of the way and not in danger of being trapped under the radio body.
