pdp8 Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 I removed the nasty Kraco dual-knob and was working to fit a factory-correct Clairon when I found the shaft nuts were a different size. Most of the dual knob decks I have are the same size, but this is just a bit smaller...because nothing is ever easy. Anybody remember the size options or know where I might buy some?

KELMO Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 Factory Clarion for the 1200 or the 210? They may very well be the same.....but you never know. I am hoping to poke around in the shop this weekend and will see what is out there. Or, more to the point, see if I can find an old radio and or radio shaft nut. Quote Link to comment

I'm not sure, the Clarion RN-403 had a Datsun label on it but could have been OEM for any Datsun of the dual-knob era. I do remember there were at least two shaft sizes that were fairly common and that if one is hard-up, one may smash the larger size out of round to get enough grip to mostly work. :-] For the moment I'm pretty happy to just be able to listen to NPR or whatever, but when I get a minute I'll dig out a DIN cable end and fab the AUX-IN cable. I also need to find or fab a bezel that looks right for this setup. The one advantage the Kraco had was it filled the tall space in the factory dash without an adapter. Next time I go to a wrecking yard or my storage, I'll dig for some small radio shaft nuts I suppose. Quote Link to comment
