The radio location was cutout to accommodate a modern DIN style radio. I plan to fabricate and weld in a sheet metal repair plate to restore the metal to original. But I don't know the dimensions and locations of the openings and other holes. Would anyone happen to have made any kind of template or sketch of an original? Or maybe even a photo of a console frame without the vinyl. <br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks much!<br></div><div>Dave<br></div><div><br></div><div>64 BJ8<br></div><div>72 XJ6<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>
