Hi All,

Thanks for the previous, great info! I have moved onto the next mindbender (maybe not). The previous owner's son removed the stock radio in my Lemans (Delco # 983687). I have the radio itself, both escutcheons (sp?), the washer like knobs, and the "cigarette lighter"-like knobs. Here's some pics of what I got:





Here's what I have been able to determine. I need to put a nut on, using the escutcheons as a brace on the dash exterior, to hold the radio to the dash.

- Does anyone know the thread specs? I found that it is slightly larger than 1/2 and smaller than 9/16. But, my local hardware stores have nothing that fits and I have been striking out using a Google search.

Let's say I get the escutcheons attached. How do I get the washer knobs to stay in place. I don't see signs of wear on the escutcheon and furthest out knob. Is there some sort of grommet/spacer combo that is used?

Finally, call me crazy, but I think that the black knob came from a different radio, it doesn't look stock. But, I did have a bowl of coo-koo flakes this morning.

TIA,
Mike
