I've been slowly working on my 49 Kaiser and am in need of two parts at the moment, the chrome skirt that mounts onto the steering wheel and a radio bracket. I pulled my radio out to get it repaired and noticed that I had no bracket holding it in; just the lock washers on the knobs so it was slowly destroying itself.  If anyone has a radio bracket or steering wheel skirt for a 49/50 please let me know and we can discuss details on the phone or via email.

Hi Kuretake, just so we can better help, there were two different radios used in the 1949 Kaiser and both mounted very differently so it's important to know which one you have.
One was the early 1947/48 style radio which was installed with an adapter kit.  The other is the more common and larger one, with 6 push buttons, which mounts differently.

The top picture is the first style, the second is the other but the pic shows what it looks like mounted in a Frazer but it will look similar. Let us know which one you have.

I have the Radio with the 6 preset buttons, this manual shows the bracket type.

Great information.  A lot of members are returning home from the National Convention which wrapped up this morning so you may not get a quick response. Hopefully someone can help you out.
