Stock Radio Speaker Mounting

Jul 26, 2003 3 Replies

Hi all,



I am restoring a 72 Standard Beetle and I am going back with the original radio Sapphire XIV. Question?? How is the 5" speaker in the left side of the dash mounted? Is the speaker secured with a strap and clips or is it held onto the back of the dash with small sheet metal screws??



Thanks, Bruce

It's held in by a strap that slips into tabs on the dash on each side of the speaker and then it has a screw that tightens against the back of the speaker to hold it in place. It's made of round material about 1/8" or so in diameter.

Here's a very rough, quick drawing of what it looks like:

Let me know, Bruce

As you can see I would love to get 2.
