After taking a guess at which two wires were going to be in the same clip, new ends where crimped on.
		Here is the new bezel and face.
		Back side of the same with the existing retaining brackets screwed in.
		With the existing needle being broken off, I came up with a new one. This being from a clip off of red marker. Cut from the red marker and glued on where the old needle broke off. Not original but worked great.
		New radio speaker sponge glued into place using left over 3M weather stripping adhesive. Note: All the parts for the radio was ordered from Classic Parts of America (www.classicparts.com).
		Radio now bolted in place.
		From the bottom side. As for the radio working or not, I could not get it to work and not sure what it will need to work, I am leaving it as is for now. Someday down the road, I am hopping to send it to someone that knows more than me and have them not only fix it, but have it converted over to 12volt.
