Hi

Anyone got any photos of this mod. I have seen it before but can’t find any on google images. I’m thinking this is just the mod I need in my pickup cab will be done with an old fashion 60s radio too.

Thanks
71.

I've always thought it's the ideal place for a radio. 

 

Australian Minis had different switch panel which is larger and looks more suitable for fitting a radio into.  There was a photo of one on a thread here recently but I can't find it.

I don't have photo's of it, but did it in my mini. I do remember having seen it in a mini magazine to (somewhere prior to 2000) on an orange mini. I'll have a look if I can find images of it.

Not sure I’m as keen on the idea now as I will be using the standard painted dash rail from the commercial pickup the radio in question is a radiomobile 1095x which being a period item I want on display just not sure where to fit it now

I'd love to put my radio there but I don't have the skills to make it look right.
