AM 8 tracks and 3 speaker dash experts ?

[moparstuart]

I have been collecting components to make the birdible a  three speaker dash and make the AM 8 track look correct .


  can any one get me mesurements to cut holes for my speaker covers ?

I hit the jack pot in minnesota this year at mopars in the park  got my speaker grille for 20.00 , and several tranformer boxes and a spare wiring harness for 50.00

Do you have a regular AC dash that you'd want to trade for a 8 track dash?

Alright, I have the dash out and can get you some measurements. I'll swing by the shop tomorrow and get them and if nobody has the measurements by then I'll post them when I get home in the morning.

I forgot I had a dentist appt right after work.     Anyway, I hope you can make heads or tails out of this. My drawing is a little out of proportion too. 

Speaker holes are 3-3/16 across, The holes for the cover are smaller than 1/8 inch and on 2.765 centers and square. The two holes nearest the windshield are in line with the edge of the holes for defroster ducts. Not with the actual hole, but where the hole recesses in for the covers.

The 10-1/8 and 9-15/16 from the speaker cover holes to the defrost hole is going to the actual cutout for the defroster ducts.

It seemed odd that they are different measurements from the edges of the ducts to the closest hole from one side to the other but I double and triple checked them.

The 6.075 and the 6.245 measurements are with the dash out so they really wont help you much.

Glad I could help. Now, I just gotta buy an 8 track player or find a standard dash that has AC. My car is a 318 with a 3 speed on the tree and had only one option on it, an AM Radio. I bought the dash because it was an A/C dash. I plan on adding a few options to it (A/C, 440 and an A512) but I'm not sure if an 8 track is one of them... Time will tell.

I have a core 8 track radio , it will look good in the dash but never work .  Just stick and 8 track tape in it for looks and put aftermarket radio under the dash .              225.00 for it

Thanks but that's a little too rich for my blood for a non working unit. I'm sure it would look good but if I go that route I'd probably go ahead and spend the money for a working one and all the goodies.

yeah i know but most nice working units sell for about 500 bucks now     and you dont get the correct wiring harness or the little transformer box.          Thats has been my problem finding all the little stuff also
