- 1973 Mach 1 with absolutely no part left untouched or replaced
Great information here. I have the same issue. I thought it was a matter of the new radios being smaller and so I glued a black strip to the new radio. If you have another bezel left, I would love to have it.If you need one with the smaller hole let me know. I think I have another 1 or 2 up in the garage. Pay the shipping and you can have one.
I will look around and let you know. I gave some stuff away not long ago. But I did have 2 or 3 up there.Great information here. I have the same issue.

So that filler plate that says Mustang..... is that original? Or where are they found?Mine came with a filler plate, I have the AM/8 Track bezel. I had the same issue but it had the proper one to This is the best pic I have, car is back in storage so not able to get a better one. Clicking on the pic should make it larger to view/ The filler plate has Mustang on it.
That filler plate came with the radio. It filled in the open space perfectly.So that filler plate that says Mustang..... is that original?

Thanks for checking. Mine looks very good with the spacer i built so i can live with it.I do have 2 of them. I dug them out last night. Unfortunately the one is all cut up. The other does have some pitting and would need painted. I forgot to get a pic of it. I will see if I can get one tonight.
I had the Retrosound stereo, but had a similar issue with the unequal length of the shaft pockets. In my case I was able to rearrange the plates around to make it fit. Mine fit with no more of a few thousands to spare. You have to find a way to allow the right side shaft (based on picture) to come forward as much as possible. You may need to remove the nut or something. I see the nut is between the plate and radio on the right (picture orientation) shaft (passenger side) so try removing it. That will give you an extra 1/8". I am not familiar with your radio so I can provide very limited help.Well, I ordered the new plate. It came. But the tuning and volume holes are unequal lengths. The radio face barely gets flush with the faceplate and none of the filler plates seem to really fit. I got a rubber gasket, black plate with mustang on it and a chrome plate. They don't fit in the hole on the brand new plate. They are 'close' but would need to be filed down quite a bit.
If the pic shows up, you can see how the pockets aren't the same length and you can see the buttons through the gap.
I pulled off the nut. It is better. I'll also have to grind 1/8" or more off the top of the openingI had the Retrosound stereo, but had a similar issue with the unequal length of the shaft pockets.
