Radio dash panel replacement
 
Does anyone have a template to re-cut the radio holes in the dash?
I foolishly cut my dash to hold a CD player 15 years ago and now I'm restoring the car to original and I will be welding in a replacement panel to the dash and I need a template to cut the holes. Preferably a template with the ash tray included so the spacing and position will be correct.
If anyone has some direction on this I'd appreciate it!

Thanks,
Jeremy

Jeremy,

While I am not positive I think the year of the car is important. There may have been a change in the radio cut out over the years as the radio chassis changed.

That being said I have a 74. I could take measurements for you if that helps?

Oh! I totally forgot to include the key information. DOH!
It's a 1968 912

I'll try to remember to trace one for you. I'm working on a '68 912 targa right now. I just can't recall if the dash is in the shop or out at the mechanic's garage.

Thanks David,
However, I think I was getting a little ahead of myself when I posted.
I'm just going to weld in a blank panel to the dash and then once I get the new trim kit I can just trace that on to the blank dash face and cut it out in place.

Thanks anyway! Sorry for the trouble!

Thanks for the offer. I just bought a piece of 20 gauge steel today that I'll tig weld in to the dash and then just trace the new trim kit for the hole location.

Thanks for all the replies!
