ok, i'm redoing my dash face and it seems that the 3rd plate, the one that covers the radio, is a different (thicker) material than the other 3 ...
anyone else noticed that? it does seem original as it has the correct stamp-out for the glove-box lock.
it's just much thicker material.

or do i have that rare custom factory option?

btw. the car is a '70 ...

The 914 I bought new in '73 actually had a plastic plate that covered the radio. It was molded plastic to look like the basketweave of the other parts of the dash, seats and door panels. Other than that, 914's through 1974 used a metel plate covered in vinyl for the radio but changed in 1975 when the pattern in the vinyl changed and I believe they no longer used a metal plate for the radio cover. So if my math is correct, that would make 3 different plates used for the radio cover. Someone, please speak up if I'm wrong.
