So I figured out how to really sneekely get a radio in the midget (i think
someone here gave me the idea) I mounted a new stereo from the bottom of the
glovebox after making a new bottom for the glove box out of 3/8 luan that i cut
to size. The only protriusion into the glove box is the 5 bolts coming up from
the harness. I then put in new speakers. The best part is that NOBODY can see
the installation unless they are standing on their head in the passenger seat.
And best of all there is a small remote that controls everything and it fits
into the ashtray. SWEEET! all you can see is the stock 1974 AM radio.
My only issue is with the wiring of the continuos 12v feed. Since the car
never had one is there another wire that i can tap into other than running
straight from the battery with a 2 amp in line fuse?
as it stands right now i cant store any presets or balance settings because
everytime i turn off the car I lose it all. But still not bad for an
afternoons worth of fabrication and installation.
thanks
ryan
