Default A Few Questions

1. Where can I buy a radio delete panel that blocks off the opening where the radio goes?

2. What is the pig tail spedo like looking cable that is protruding from the back of my spedo. dash? It is just under where the spedo cable goes in.

3. On a 69 rag top; the tops of both my door lock pillars are broken/damaged. I bought new panels from Ecklers.
My question is; how do i go about putting these in? Should I cut and put in the whole panel? or should i cut and only use the top portion ?
Any advice on this whould help.....If it were steel I would now the answer.
Thanks.
Geo.

1. Are you looking to just block off the radio area? If so, you could probably make something up yourself.

If you are looking for the "original" off a corvette, PM me
