RT dash speaker holder?
« on: September 12, 2018, 01:52:17 PM »
What does BMW call the part on a RT dash that contains the speakers?
From the fiche at Max BMW, it looks like a "46 63 1 453 173, COVERING CENTER".
A previous owner had put speakers in, with the BMW covers, but then pulled the radio, and snipped the wires before they sold it. I removed the speakers to do some fairing repair work (parking lot rash). Now I'd like to just put in a piece without speaker holes.
This is for my 1985 K100RT.

It seems reasonable to believe that's what BMW calls it because they're calling it that. :giggles
Read it with a comma i.e., COVERING, CENTER—in American terms, Center covering. The other #1 would seem to be a trim panel when there is a radio.
