Default Delco Cassette problem

Does anyone know where to get some washers for a delco cassette for a 79 Corvette? I bought the radio on ebay and it didn't come with washers. I don't see how the radio will fit without them behind the tuning ***** unless I'm doing it wrong.

I just removed the radio from my '81 yesterday, and I can tell you that there wasn't a single washer behind the nuts, and the radio fitted perfectly.
My radio is probably the same as yours, the 20BECT1
ETR cassette radio.

Has your bezel been cut or anything?
The recesses for the nuts under the ***** are pretty deep.
I agree, no washers.

My bezel hasn't been cut. The nuts that came with the radio are too big to fit in the bezel but they are definitely the thin style. Is there a thinner nut?

"correct' nuts are actually round with slots in them.

Do you have a picture of them or know where I could buy some?

I've got a couple of 'parts' radios. I'll see if I have one, but I doubt it.

edit....sorry, don't have any.

Can you grind your hex nuts down and grind slots in them? Needle nose pliers work in the slots on the correct nuts.
