Mike, so if I read this right, there should be a place on the 'knob' bar - 
in the middle - to put the new key ass'y.  Stupid Q of course, but is that 
still valid for a 73, and (2) I'd have to remove the plate, and there should 
be a mounting hole behine, then drill plastic to match hole?

Or are we talking about the black support /riser thing?  Mine has been 
'reworked' to allow a DIN style radio in it..

Ken - sometimes the obvious escapes me....
