Subject: RE: "modern" radio for TR6
When I bought my 76 TR6, it had an Audiovox AM/FM Cassette installed.
I also received the original BL AM/FM 8Track. I'm trying to remember
the configuration of the original radio and can't be certain of its
configuration but I think it had the two posts coming out of the box on
each side of the tuner bezel. So far I am holding on to the BL unit,
but I'm not sure why.
Regardless, by the time I got the car, the Audiovox unit was in and its
installation had called for a rectangular hole the size of the unit
itself. If there was originally a small rectangle bordered on two sides
by a volume post and a tuner post, that metal was long gone. I pulled
the Audiovox unit out and replaced it with a Sony AM/FM CD and the
installation was a no-brainer as far as the fit went. The old box came
out, I filed the side of the rectangular opening to get a better fit and
in went the Sony. A plastic trim piece finished it off and it looks
like a pro installed it.
My car came with the antenna mounted on the left front fender.

Does anyone know of a new AM-FM casette (brand and
model) that can be fitted
to a TR6 without doing alterations on the console?
Although I still have the
original Triumph AM radio, I would like to upgrade.
And where is the "proper" place for the antenna? Old
TR6 pictures show the
antenna in a dozen different places.
