Default 67 GTO factory AM/FM question

A couple years ago I had my factory AM radio converted to FM. You turn off the radio, wait a few seconds, turn it back on and it switches bands. At the time I had a circuit put in whereby if I wanted to add a repro bezel and slide bar (from PY) with switch at a later date I could do that. So since I had nothing better do right now I plunked down the $250+ for the bezel and bar and finally here's my question:

How far back from the little window does the AM or FM indicator decal sit? Is it butted right against the inside of the glass or backspaced like the dial indicator?

thanks!

Both the 'am' and 'fm' as well as the indicator glass should sit right up against the casting from the back of the bezel. The am/fm numbers dial was the only part that sat recessed.

Wow, never knew the bezel to convert your old radio existed. Would like to see a pic to see how it looks. Have an AM/FM in mine now but am not sure what year or Pontiac car it came from. That price seems like a bargain compared to trying to find an original AM/FM in good condition.

I'm interested in the first mod you had done - turn it off, turn it back on again, and it's an FM radio - very clean!

Do you remember who did the work and how much it was?
