BobW Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Pulled the dash cap to replace instrument panel lights and found the drivers side speaker attached to a small "L" bracket with just one screw! Does anyone have the correct driver side bracket? Would a Chevelle bracket be the same? Tip: You guys probably know this, but after retreiving 3 of the dash cap clips, I secured all 6 with Gorilla tape! Quote
Dtret Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Post a picture of what you have. You should have a bracket the mounts to the cowl with two screws and a small bracket that mounts to that and screws to the cluster. 1 Quote

All that was in there was a simple hardware store L bracket with i screw holding the speaker in place. I did a search and I see what the left mount looks like. Found one for $50, I think I can fabricate something myself...... Quote
Leghome Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 I got a pair of brackets from Leo Konicks Quote

MC1of80 Posted October 16, 2022 Posted October 16, 2022 Chevelle uses the same brackets. There is a set on eBay now. Quote

MC1of80 Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 Also check the aftermarket, like the parts place. I'm pretty sure someone just recently started repoping them. 1 Quote

BobW Posted October 19, 2022 Author Posted October 19, 2022 So I discovered the missing bracket as I was replacing the dash bulbs with LED's. As usual stuff happens and I popped that tiny glass fuse, and of course I didn't have one on hand. I was close to finishing the bulb replacement, so it was time for some temporary improvisation.... 🤔 1 Quote
