David, I don't know if this will work in your case; this worked for me. I've got more coat hangers than sheet metal so I cut two 6" pieces of hanger wire, put them on an anvil, wailed on them with a hammer until flat, filed down the edges until they fit in the slots. I hope this helped. Dake '84 Westy - Wu Wei --- On Wed, 6/2/10, David Beierl <dbeierl@ATTGLOBAL.NET> wrote: From: David Beierl <dbeierl@ATTGLOBAL.NET> Subject: Radio removal help pls? Premium IV radio To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Date: Wednesday, June 2, 2010, 10:40 PM I just stuck in one of those $30 VW radios that someone pointed to a few weeks ago, in place of the existing Heidelberg V. More on that later, but the short version is "Great." Foolishly I forgot to determine precisely how to get the sucker out again -- it has the newer thin vertical slots in the faceplate to release the catches. Does anyone have a dimension drawing or a decent photograph of the tool needed to do this? I've got more sheet metal than money just now and anyway I'm cheap in a certain idiosyncratic way... Yours, David |
