Radio Delete Plate

[73inNH]

My 73 Mustang has an aftermarket 2 post radio that I don't use, and I don't have the original. I'd like to install a delete plate.

Any idea where I can get one or one that fits well enough? Not looking for concourse, just a decent fit and finish.

I cut one out of some Kydex sheet

An original radio delete plate will probably cost as much or more than an original working AM Radio. I have seen unrestored working AM radios on eBay for under $80. You can make a plate like Bentworker said. A repro clock delete plate is $70, as far as I know no one make a radio repro radio delete plate. West Coast Classic Cougar has an original radio delete plate, it can be yours for $429.89, and yes you read that right $429.89:

Ok thanks for the info! I'll look into fabbing something.

I might have a 1973 am/fm spare if you decide to go that route

get some Kydex and get creative. Maybe put a clock in it? USB ports?

K.I.T.

I printed an insert using an FDM printer. Perfect size for a phone to run a remote Bluetooth player or just extra storage. I can take a picture if it would help visualize. Just have to be careful about the type of material used for thermal stability.

Maybe use the upper storage piece to fit
