Default 1965 Correct Radio *****

Installing original radio in my 65 corvette and trying to figure out which are the correct ***** for the volume and tuning shafts. In the picture below which is correct? Are both supposed to be the same? Finally are there reproductions that are "dead on" as I am preparing the car for NCRS judging. If so who is the best source?

Thanks - Hunter

I am pretty sure the one on the left is a radio ****. Can't say anything about the right one. Sorry.

The one on the left with the set screw, looks like the fan ****, the one on the right looks like a radio ****.

The 65 radio ***** are completely round and use set screws. The blower fan **** has the raised flat area, that the set screw goes through. The heater temperature **** is the only **** that screws on.

To my knowledge, there's only one company making repro 65 dash *****. They're US made and the quality is pretty good. Buy from whoever your favorite vendor is.
