Front Speaker Support Bracket
« on: February 08, 2023, 06:03:52 PM »
I'm looking for an original front speaker support bracket for a 1976 Firebird / Trans Am / Camaro.  Anyone know where I can find one.  My car didn't have it and they don't seem to make an aftermarket replacement.  Probably not a lot of demand for this part . . .

I bought a replacement center front speaker from a company named Turnswitch several years ago.  Looks like they have a new name now, and the speaker is out of stock.  You may want to reach out to them and see if they can help.

The bracket is available used for those who even bother to list them.

This is the 79-81 version, tabs are now diagonally. Not sure how that matters of if speakers changed to suit. Just an observation.

There's also about 3 variations in the shape and width of the angled bracket support itself. Camaro seem to commonly have chunkier version for whatever reason, that i've noticed.

Are you reinstalling a factory front speaker?

8-)  Thanks for all of your help.  Your suggestions finally led me to Doug at Camaro-Parts-World out of Oakwood, Ohio.  I think that he supplies surplus parts out of old "F Bodies".  He had a bracket out of a 1979 Trans Am.  I haven't tried installing it yet, but it looks exactly like it should and was in really good condition.
