I have a '73 2.0.
I purchased a Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio to replace the original radio (well it was the original Sapphire, but it's definitely an early 70's radio and fit into the dash plate like a Sapphire). I removed the old radio from the dash. When I try to drop in the Blaupunkt into the plate, the center window hole appears to be too small for the Blaupunkt. Seems like it's about a mm or two too small. Anybody else ever encountered this when trying to install a Blaupunkt Frankfurt? Do I need to get a different dash plate for the Blaupunkt Frankfurt? Is there a different plate available anywhere? I'd rather not file or dremel the hole bigger. |
