Ken,

Interesting.  I bought a radio and speaker from a list member with that exact 
set up. He could not say if the bracket was standard, just that it was what his 
car came with. I assumed it was non-standard, i.e.: non-authentic, and the 
speaker mounted directly to the back of the console. Which is why I asked about 
model numbers because if it did mount directly to the console, it would be an 
odd, oblong shape, what 2" by 8", or so.

In general, were there "Standard" Healey speaker mounts or regional or all over 
the place because they were all fabricated by the local dealer? 

Basically, what's authentic?

Greg
