51 Panelman - does this kit come with the metal strap that attaches from the back of the radio to the firewall? I have a late model 50 with no radio brackets, so I think my radio solution is the adapter plate on a 51 radio, which I have found, but I need the strap that goes from the back stud to the firewall. I am guessing that is how it goes?

Yes, it has a metal strap for mounting at rear of the radio. However, the speaker bracket itself will only work in a 51-52 model.

I need a speaker bracket if anyone has a source for it. I see panelman has reproduction kits.

I would like to purchase a kit, how do I contact you?

I'd like to know if there'd be interest from FTE members for these parts before I place the order. I'd prefer to have several or at least half preorders. It would about 1-2 weeks to get a run of 25 made. The new kit will also come with a copy of the instructions.

Since selling is not permitted in this forum, please PM or email me, and I'll provide you with the cost and take your pre-order.

Thanks!

EDIT: Forgot to mention that the speaker bracket will allow you to install a 6x9 speaker in the stock location even if you are not using the original radio.
