Re: Blaupunkt radio faceplate
I am pretty sure I am missing the plate and just have washers, which seems fine. I never knew of the plate.

Re: Blaupunkt radio faceplate
Depending upon the chrome surround, some clip onto the back plate. Others just press fit onto the radio.
If you need parts, Vintageblau has a lot of them.

Do you have the rear hanger? If you don't that is a lot of stress on the dash face.Martin Benade wrote: ↑Sun Mar 28, 2021 10:23 am I am pretty sure I am missing the plate and just have washers, which seems fine. I never knew of the plate.

Re: Blaupunkt radio faceplate
Mike,
The good news is that the hangers are available new just not those pesky plates!

Re: Blaupunkt radio faceplate
I do have a rear hanger. A length of coat-hanger wire bent to shape with loop for the center stud. It does the job perfectly.

As long as there is something there, right? The one advantage of the factory hanger is the built in rubber grommets where it attaches above, but knowing you I am sure that has been attended to as well.

Yes, clear plastic tubing on the ends. No rattles.

Re: Blaupunkt radio faceplate
Thanks Mike. Your backing plate looks like it would work with the my lower bezel but our bezels don't look the same. What car or Blaupunkt is this backing plate from?

Re: Blaupunkt radio faceplate
Hi, James:
If memory serves me right, I bought these as spare parts. I have a few other chrome surrounds as well. I've seen a couple of different backing plates. It's challenging as Blaupunkts were put into different makes; BMW, Mercedes and probably others.

Re: Blaupunkt radio faceplate
The top on is for a 70 thru 73 911. The bottom one is for a 67 or so thru 69. Neither one require a backing plate but attach directly to the Blaupunkt radio.James P Davis wrote: ↑Sun Aug 27, 2023 10:09 pm Please help me identify what these two bezels fit. Thanks
I could be off by a few months, so please cut me some slack
