On my P1800 I wanted to fit an old Motorola 828 unit from the mid 60's. I had it upgraded by Tadpole Radio successfully.
But I had not thought about the limited space behind the dash; the windscreen wiper mechanism takes up considerable space at the back of the cavity used by the radio.
Luckily this problem was overcome by using a brushed aluminium spacer template, which worked well to allow the radio to be mounted proud of the curved panel and still look tidy.
Not checked but am using a original 71 Blaupunkt Volvo radio in the space made for a radio so fingers crossed it’s okay.
