Radio hole blanking plate

Post by lefty67 »

Does anyone know if there is a blanking plate available that fits in the hole where the radio should be? Would like a metal one rather than the universal plastic ones.

I've got one in mine - not taken it out yet so dont know if its metal or plastic.

Cant help but ask, wouldnt you prefer a radio in there instead?

I never listen to music or the radio when driving, don't know why. Wouldn't be able to hear it in the van above all the noises and draughts anyway.
In my car I have an upto date cd/radio. Ive only ever turned it on to see if it works
Just think a blanking plate would look a bit neater than duck tape.

I find it hard to listen to music in any car too - wife keeps turning it down to talk!

You can have mine if you want it, hopefully popping over to do some work on it today, i'll try and remember to bring it back.
