Where can I find a pic or specs on the brackets &/or speakers that mount in the stereo dash pad of a '71 EC?

I had thought about using one of these at one time or another.

Hello Danny,
Here are some pics of what I did with my '72 dash (http://levitanj.home.mindspring.com/elky/restor2/page1/page1.html).
I swapped the mono center dash for a stereo dash. I bought some brackets / speakers on ebay that were from a 3rd gen elky. I took the brackets off the speakers (which were no good anyway). I then attached some Kenwood 4X6 speakers , model KFC-4675C from Best Buy. They sound pretty good and are supposed to handle about 60W. The radio I have is not the powerfull. I will have to get an amp to push them a little more.

It took a little patience to get the speakers in there, but it can be done. The drivers side is a little tough with the headlight switch. These were the only speakers I could find that had the magnet in the correct location to fit in there. Plus, the speakers had all these extra holes and slots for the screws.

Good luck,
