Re: Radio mounting strap and AC clearance question
Whew! Thought I had to rethink the whole thing. I do have a deluxe control unit Im restoring now and plan to use with the vintage air. Order will be coming your way soon, thanks.

Re: Radio mounting strap and AC clearance question
Hey nsb29, the instructions in your kit I had a few questions about. I had previously drilled 4 holes to for CorvetteJims faceplate on the dash before I purchased your box. It looks like I only need to drill 2 more holes at the top to mount your box to the back of the dash. Is this right?
Do you have any step by step pics of how to do an install? The jnuts in the kit I assume clip onto edge of the plastic box you have and then the screws that I am putting through the front faceplate are meant to thread into the jnuts of your box I think. Is there a length of screws to use? The ones I had in the vent assembly kit may be a bit long. You can see the top on in the pic Im attaching. |

Re: Radio mounting strap and AC clearance question
Yes the J nuts clipped onto the edge of the box in alignment with the holes a one inch # 6 screw Use the template that I sent you for the two additional holes after you have installed the box using those two additional screws install the face plate you got from Jim to the other four holes the reason for the additional screws is the help take the wait off the face plate I also recommend installing your vent hose to the box before installing it is a tight fit it difficult to do once installed have found some of the hose varies in size

Re: Radio mounting strap and AC clearance question
Thanks for the info, I have ordered the vintage air kit and I think it will take a few weeks for them to have it delivered. Ill wait to do the final install once I have it all, good to know about the hoses being installed first. Until then Im trying to get the radio, speaker and vent assembly fitted to see how I can add support to the radio.
