Thread: SWB Radio Mounting Diagram ('67)

    Richard, for me this hobby is much more about the journey and the challenges you have to overcome on it than the destination. Don't get me wrong, enjoy driving the cars but the restoration process for me is much more enjoyable.

    We do know that 356 series and early 912/911 radios did NOT all use the same knobs; there were variants in size (and color e.g., black or ivory). As just one example, the "Y" series radio (67 only) used a knob that was distinctive to that radio. So, I don't understand the implication of Knopfe in the document shown above.

    Do you have a photo of the unique '67 knob that you cite?

    Ingo is indeed knowledgeable, he restored mine... with modern internals. Amazing how light it is now!

    Just to follow-up on this thread, attached a picture of the bracket which I believe was used to mount the radio on <67 cars. With regard to the washers posted by me in an earlier post, I believe these were only used on cars without the wood dash.

    Yes, MShaver, although Bullethead, provided one shot of these distinctive 67 (Series Y) radio knobs, here is another photo if you are willing to scroll through the photographs of this car until you see the dash shot. https://goo.gl/photos/D5LLEwxMxAxzM3wJA

    Are the big dished washer/spacers used for 68' steel dash cars? I too am deep into a Frankfurt restoration.

    Couldn't sleep last night and had to do something about my half missing labels. PM me if you need one.
