OhMonte Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I bought my Monte with a crappy later-model GM radio installed. After buying a correct 1970 radio on eBay, it didn't seem to fit quite right. I find out (after trying to jam it in further than it's supposed to go) that there is a bezel that meets the burlwood to the radio face. It's somehow been removed. Does anyone have an extra they'd like to part with? I'm not sure if it was supposed to have been removed or did the previous owner really screw things up. Thanks! Joe Quote
LostnFound Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I wonder if the radio "towers" (I think that's what they call them) have been cut off the back? Quote
7tonemonte Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 That's what was done to mine Larry, I didn't realize it till later, then I ended up just cutting it all out Quote
LostnFound Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I think I've read somewhere that there's a fix for that. Quote

Gerard Munday Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 there was a guy named Dr. Dash in MA. phone # (413)447-8813 Fax (413) 443-7311. I don't know if he is still doing this, but he did sell the cone for the back side of the dash. Jay and Jenny Quote
72-CLASSIC_RIDE Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I cant remember where, but I have seen them offered on line. I was probably eBAY but not certain. Hope you are able to locate them. Doug Quote
OhMonte Posted March 21, 2015 Author Posted March 21, 2015 Thanks everyone. The Chevelle links worked out great and set me in the right direction. The car is coming out of storage next week and it's time to get some tunes rolling. Quote
willie Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Someone cut 1 side out of mine and I used a replacement cone to repair it. Works fine so far. I did buy the set to make sure I had the right one. Got mine in Carlisle, I tried to buy the whole lot but he would only sell me 2 sets. Quote
Leghome Posted March 21, 2015 Posted March 21, 2015 Maybe he will be there this year and you can hit him up again for two more sets and then a couple of friends follow to get a few more sets. Quote
willie Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 He had a box full of them. I thought someone in the club might need them some day. That's why I wanted to buy the whole box. lol Quote
