Excellent - that's the one now if only you knew which rover publication 
I might be able to find a picture :-)

The parts book lists a bracket to mount the speaker unit to the hand 
rail. it also lists a set of parts to bolt the radio itself to the dash 
panel. I'd assumed that the two were separate  and  that the radio with 
it's transformers etc would be pretty heavy.

Interestingly the parts book lists all the valves used and capacitors 
(condensers) - so maybe I'll be able to eliminate the different models 
with that information.

thanks

Jon
