Bracket that mounts the original radio from the rear of the radio to the lower part of the dash


A  longtime ago I had an aftermarket radio installed and had to make the hole larger and further apart for the new radio.   I have since had a couple of radios and my latest one will be a new Retrosound Model 2.    

The previous installations did not have a bracket to mount the rear of the radio box and it was just hung in there by the dial portions on the front.

 

The last time I had the radio in for service the stereo shop used tie wraps to attach to the heater control cables to stabilize the back of the radio.

 

I would like to see if it possible to get a new bracket or just a photo of the original bracket so that I can make one up.

Thanks Carl.

Now I know what I am looking for.    I decided to buy the item but with shipping and everything it amounts to 35.00

I will pass on that.

I spent a few hours this afternoon putting my Faxon Manual back in sequence and found a part number for this item

GM # 389 3478

You are always on the ball for our members and your great knowledge is appreciated.

I'll let you know how the new radio installation goes.  

Should have the radio in the next few weeks. 

Cliff 

UPDATE

WOW   THAT SECOND ONE LISTED AT $150.00   REALLY......

If it's not urgent, I know a yard that likely has 20 of those, I'm not kidding. However, it's in Minnesota and I won't likely get there again this year, or at best, late fall if I do. I would gladly grab one for you, I'm sure it would be 5 bucks and that would mail real easy.

Cliff,

Back in the day, I seem to remember we used to use perforated metal pipe hanger straps

for supporting the heavy side of the car radios. 

Folding it twice if necessary to give added strength. 

Available at most hardware stores,and Canadian tire.
