Default 68 Camaro multiplex

Which multiplex cover for the council mounted multiplex is correct for 1968 Camaro.

This is the correct pad, It doesn't have a seam.

No such thing as a factory console mounted multi plex in a 68(or any first generation)Camaro. There were two console mounted 8 track units, one for a multiplex radio, one for the mono radios. Externally the units are identical, the multiplex one just has an additional harness on it to bring the multiplexed signal from the muliplex unit through the 8 track and out to the speakers. An 8 track player used with a multiplex radio used the same arm rest pad as a regular stereo 8 track player, and there was only one cover made and it doesn't have any seams along the edge, the vinyl is just streatched over the foam backing and glued on the back side.

A 68 multiplex only unit consists of a 4 knob control unit with a big green stereo light in the center mounted in the cover of the console door. The multiplex unit itself is mounted under the dash to the left of the steering column. Very rare setup, almost as rare as the multiplex 8 track unit.

Mark
thanks for your info
However the origonal owner of my 68 Camaro ordered a
am fm multiplex and is on the bill of sale for the car.I talked to him and asked him if th multiplex was mounted on the council door He said when he took delivery of the car he was not happy about this council mounted multiplex
and I asked the second owner and the third owner of the 68Camaro and they all confirm that the multiplex was mounted on the council with a pad on top for a arm rest.The origional council which is still on the car has a round hole on the side of the compartment with 2 small screw holes on each side to hold the wiring gromet . I have the council mounted multiplex and want to put it back the way it came from the factory??????? (need help)The car was built the 4th week of Jan/68

This is a 68 factory Multiplex setup



Yours looks like an 8 track (Tough to tell with a photo of the back of it.). As I said there is a multiplex 8 track unit that is visually the same as a regular 8 track, except for an extra wiring harness. The knobs on the 8 track controlled the multiplex units tone and balance, as well as the 8 tracks output.

Here are a couple pictures of the dimensions. The past owner of this one had the foresight to make a plexiglass cover to protect the decal.
