Radio delete plate does not fit.

No match- that’s the other bizarre thing.
I did a search on here and there are a few places where measurements are given and the delete plate is spot on to the others.
The radio knobs cannot be moved - like the old Kraco or Phillips aftermarket.

-- What I meant was, that it looks like the face plate doesn't fit on the radio. --- Does it ?
Look at how far below center the knob holes are.
No it does not. The delete plate does not match up with radio dials.
The factory radio chrome and silver fits perfectly and does cover the holes.

-- Do You have a cover plate that matches the radio ? -- If so, does it (the cover plate) cover the hole in the dash, completely ? -- If all of this is Yes, -- then are You sure that You have the correct radio, for that car ?
Not the right cover plate obviously. Trace out the radio hole and post measurements/pic and put your delete plate up for sale/trade.
Radio fits the hole properly and its correct radio, then obviously plate is wrong. You shown that as plate doesnt match up with radio knobs.
Unless there is a part # on that plate, its application is hearsay anyway right?
Trade for correct one. Or run the radio plate, looks sharp!

-- -- Here's another 66 dash. Obviously, Your dash has not been cut. -- Hope You can find a, correct, delete plate.
As I stated above, I made one that shape for my 66 B-Cuda. It fits in, and looks real good. They are easy to make.
If you wanted, you could driil too holes, where the radio knobs go, and use some short round head carridge bolts, make some big washers for the back, and bolt it on. Can paint it any color you want , before install.

Definitely not a cut dash. Mines never been touched and I've owned it since 1986.
