Details Details! Which Speaker Grille Is Correct For A 1969-1973?

[execmalibu]

I thought that I had a very good handle on almost everthing that was original ( and optional) on the 1971-73 911s but recently I have learned that there are a lot of little details that I have yet to learn about.

Just today I was reading on another post about a 1974 speaker grille. I had always (wrongly) assumed that 1974-76 had the same dash with speaker grille. You learn something new every day!

I humbly ask from the experts of the 2 NOS dashes I have which is the correct speaker grille for a 1973?

Thanks,
Jeff

My 69 coupe came from a PO with the grille on the bottom, which I assumed was original but now, I'm not sure either!

First one was seen in an original RS. Pretty original (paint and all).

Second one is from a car I once knew.

Best,

I had to add a second post for the photo to appear.

Top one is 73 bottom one is 74 on. See the post on the 911E for sale with 44k original miles and check the pictures from last year (on a linked thread) to the current pictures.

That's why I sold the car....

Here is a picture out of the 2.2 brochure of the dash.
Unfortunatly, there is no clear picture in the 2.4 72 or 73 brochure.

Here is a picture out of the 1974 model 2.7L brochure.
So I think the only correct one is the top one.

OK, I just looked: my 72S has the incorrect speaker grill. Now what???? Some PO must've replaced it when the dash was replaced (I'm guessing that the dash was replaced.) So now, what I thought was a perfect car...is not. Alas, my RS DOES have the correct speaker grill. Thank God for small favors....

Not to be a SA, seriously, if the factory sold that dash, how did they think you'd hear the radio ?? I don't "get-it" ??
