[FC] FC Corvair dash speaker size

[Ken Hand]

 An AM/FM radio was not offered in the early or FC, BUT, you can get a 70's AM/FM radio with the flat face and relocate the power supply to the rear. It takes the rectangle face radio and you need to modify the carrier just a little but it looks fine when installed.

Much appreciated Chuck my impression is that they were all standard size front 
speakers but certainly wouldn't be a surprise if the FC was different

Mobile device...Have a great day!
