HJ RADIO MOUNTING

[Terry T]

How is the radio mounted into the dash?

There were two types. Both mounted a little differently but looked the same when it was all done.
The early  type was a 1947/48 KF radio installed with a kit -

I have the instructions for installing this type and I believe pnw_oldmags has them on his site. It was supported by a simple "L" shaped metal support which was bolted to the firewall.

Here's the diagram that came with the kit:

The other was made specifically for the Henry J but I've also seen this type installed in Darrins. It's this one -

This type has two support struts that mounted through the cowl (top of firewall) and most Henry Js have dimples there so you can easily drill the holes to mount this type.  AZ may have the instructions.

I have the second type.
Thanks

You might look through these installation instructions to see if one of them might assist you.

These are scans for a photocopy so I don't know how clear they will be. They seem OK on my PC. You will have to save them (double-click the icons to open them, then right-click your mouse over it and choose "Save Picture As"), then open and zoom in on them, or print them. pnw_oldmags, feel free to grab them and add them to your site if you feel they meet standards.

Thanks,

I had the eye-bolts in a box of stuff not knowing what they were for.
