Re: 49 dash switch removal

BDeb, you are correct, no other fasteners but I noticed that my radio, which is heavy, rides on the switch assembly. I assume Packard placed the rubber pieces in the assembly to stop any metal to metal contact and to soften the blow for the radio tubes.
I had to push up on the back of the radio to get my assembly out to work on it.
Since starting to write this I crawled under my dash and had a look. There is a brace for the radio go to who knows where, mine doesn't have any thing holding it or bolted to it. You never know who owned the car before, someone could have added a brace or something similar preventing the assembly to be easily removed.
