Can anybody tell me how lond an original one is and how many holes it should have. There's one on ebay and I want to get the right part.

I have an August '65 production GT that's all original. My piece looks just like the one in the Ebay auction and is 11 7/8" long or about 30cm. BTW, it has a gloss black paint finish. Hope that helps.

imo, a batteryholder in 7,5" size seems too small to me...

here is mine (came from a '72 Euro 2000 GTV):

28.8 cm is length overall, 27 cm is length between the outer holes (heart to heart) and 24 cm is the length between the outer hole and the inner hole (heart to heart). Hope it will help you.

I know, it has to be black....

39Cub...thanks, that sounds consistant with what I've heard but not seen...that the later cars got longer ones.

BTW does your car have a front speaker in the middle of the dash. I'm looking for pictures of this original chrome speaker grill so I can show sellers what I'm looking for. The one on my 67 is gone and replaced with modern perfed aluminum sheet from radio shack or wherever.

Anyway...I'd appreciate a pic if you've got one of these speaker grills.

Thanks,
