To my knowledge all cars had it from the factory. Cars without radio option had a dummy gauge in that place.

This is the original car that was used to make the mold for my body.

Just an other measurement.. My coupe body was molded without B-pillars. So, before I make the pillars I'd like to doublecheck the height. Atleast A measurement would be great! Thank you for your patience! :)

Hi Hebster, sorry about the delay, I should pay attention better in the future...

The measurement from inside window bend to top middle point of radio cut out looks to be 170mm exactly.

For the B-pillar, the outside measurement appears to be 303mm, the inside looks to be 310mm.

I'd be happy to take what ever measurements you might need in the future, maybe send me a PM as well as posting here just to give me a good reminder...:)

I can post some photos of how I measured the items above if you want to check to see if it's what you were looking for?

Thanks a lot! No worry about the delay... I've got other things to work with on this too.. :)
A couple of pictures would be great.

The A measurement I asked for above would be the height of your rearquarterwindow includingnrubberseals. The B measurement you aren't able to measure without removing thr rearquarterwindow and seals so not that important.. :)

The requests continue. Could someone please complete the measurements below with one or two more?

I'd need the shortest measurement from center of inner beehive to the rounded corner of the enginelidpressing.
(Like a radius from beehive center)

I would be very happy if anyone would be able to give the X and Y measurements for me just so I can confirm I have the taillights at correct height.... :)
