Blaupunkt Radio under-dash fitment...

[RichOakley]

Hello folks.

I have owned many Blaupunkt radios over the years (over 1,000), but I have never personally installed an early Type 3 radio in a car. I recently sold a '64 model Blaupunkt Frankfurt FM unit to a friend with the external Powerpack at the rear, like this (but obviously supplied with a Type 3 faceplate, knobs etc)...

All Blaupunkt FM models upto 1965 had this external power pack attached to the radio. Does anybody have fitting instructions available for installing such a radio in a Type 3? Were there different types of under-dash mounting pods/brackets?

Many thanks,
Rich.

Like I said here:

Loosen the four 10mm bolts on the brackets and swing the powerpack under the radio- or even on top of the radio- so it will fit. It doesn't have to stick straight out behind like that.

side note, are knobs and such re-poped? I have the original for my '66, but no knobs, the black or the chrome pieces
