Default 69 radio access panel bracket

Can anyone show me a picture of the bracket that holds the radio access panel in place.
I have tried to buy them from supply houses, with no luck.
Guess I I will have to build them.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Max

Hi Max,
I'm not sure what you're referring to as the radio 'access panel bracket'?
A bit of description?
Regards,
Alan

Stock units mount through the center cluster bezel; no "access panel brackets."


Are you working with an aftermarket stereo?

It is the small side panel, extending the console, one on each side.
Allowing access to the radio from the side.
Have pic, cannot load.

That panel mounts with a single screw thru. the end of the console into the metal bracket that attaches the lower end of the center panel and the console. Sorry no pics.

Hi,
Here's the area with the small cover off and then one with the cover in place.
Note 1 screw through the cover into the nylon(?) tab on the front of the shifter console. It may or may not pass through the console bracket depending on jus where the console is attached.
The screw is oval headed, chrome plated, and has a captive collet on it.
Regards,
Alan

Ok thanks,
Mine has the indentations where your metal tab is, I will need to make a piece to fit there for more support.
Thank you again
