I'm trying to install my reconditioned radio. I'm missing the radio install bracket. Does anyone have access to take some photos & measurements?

Thanks

The one that is connected to the firewall at the back of the radio? I believe I have one and will check in a few hours when I get home.

Thanks Garold

Bump, anyone with a radio bracket?

Which kind of bracket do you need. Each radio used a different one. All the Euro manufacturers used one and the Sapphires used another. I have some DIN plates if that is what you need.

Not sure, but I would think the rear mount bracket came with the radio when it was installed. It's just a piece of metal that attaches under the dash, and to the back of the radio.

Good evening guys

I have a Motorola sapphire and I believe that my bracket should look like a "Z" or an "S". Yes I could probably make one but as we all know it is not fun being under the dash in our cars.

Thanks

I'm still looking David. I went through my stash of radios (and radio parts) but didn't find a bracket. I have a 73 parts car here that I just got on the lift this afternoon, but haven't had a chance to dig into it yet. It's 88 and humid here right now and I'm old and fat biggrin.gif once the sun goes down and cools off a bit I will go back out and check the radio that is in it and see what it has.

Ok, now we know what we are looking for. Added picture

Just put mine back in after glove box repair. It was a square U-shape that has two tabs that fit into holes in the firewall. (Bosch radio in a '73.) Sort of like this:

Hey Mark any chance of getting some dimensions from that bracket?

Thanks everyone

I just sold the radio that the bracket went to. I shipped it out yesterday afternoon. I might still have a blapunkt rear that would work. Let me check this afternoon.

I don't have the strap for the Motorola radio, just the one used for the Bluapunkt.
