Original radio sourced and fitted.
That's a great looking radio. Was that model fitted to Mk2s too?

Not sure what this radio was originally out of.
I thought the RS had a FM radio, but this will do the job for now.
My car still only had a single speaker under the dash.

From what I have gleaned from old ads and catalogues an AM push button radio came standard in the RS2000 but an "AM Radio/Stereo Cassette" was available as an option.

Yeah that would be right.
Any idea what the speaker configuration would have been with the cassette player?

Until I looked into it recently, I didn't even know a stereo cassette was an option. I wouldn't be surprised if it just fed into the center speaker though, which makes the "stereo" part rather redundant. I doubt many were fitted to Escorts, as they were optional even on LTDs back in the day.

 This is a page straight out of the 1980 Escort operators manual. Should help with identifying what radios where fitted standard. Mine is the one on the right.

Interior is coming along very nicely. Pretty much got everything in place that I was aiming to do. I sourced a pile of parts from the UK including this secondhand dash pad. It turned out to be much easier to replace than I thought it would.  Looking good

They look great, even got the caps Did you have them refinished or did they take a heap of elbow grease and polish? ..........Drew
