[Mgs] '71 MGB/GT - radio?

[dcouncill at karamursel.org]

For the large plastic dash used in the North America market, early 70s,
there was a small speaker below the spot where the glovebox would have
been (glovebox was added in 1972) and it was covered and/or held up by a
dash liner. I still have a spare dash liner from a 71 or 72 MGB that I
might be able to locate and take a picture of later today that would show
the speaker positioning. I checked Moss and the closest I found was item
45 on this page:ht

But that is a repro of some sort and may not have the speaker opening.
The speaker would have been small so the volume would have been limited.
Most people add in speakers either in the door or the rear bulkhead but
back in the early 70s, it was still a mono world with one speaker.

  We've decided it's time to remedy some of the (un-)handiwork of a
  previous
  owner of our B/GT. It has an aftermarket radio semi-installed --
  speaker just
  hung on a wire hook on the passenger side of the tunnel. I've been
  though all
  our books/literature and can't find a photo showing where the
  speaker(s) in a
  factory/dealer installation are located -- door panels? Rear
  bulkhead?

  Thanks in advance,
