For anybody that is considering doing this to their car I have found a source for the switches in case you can't find them. Link is there. Four switches shipped to Georgia was $52. I ordered them just now so haven't seen them but they are the same part number, Cherry 72-40AT but Cherry has sold...
Stupid question: you added the circuit breaker but on the sketch you only have one wire, which is the out side, I think. I'm assuming there is a hot wire in? If so where would it come from? Might try to get this out if I can find the switches. Thanks in advance.

I second the Retro Sound radios. I got the head unit, amp and big speakers to sit in the cargo area behind the rear buckets. Bought it and all the cables etc. from Crutchfield and had good customer service from them. I think they make a direct replacement for the radio you have.

This is off a 66. Lousy picture, sorry. The full shank is approx. 7/16" and the splines are approx. 1/4". I don't have a mic so the diameter of the top part (smooth part) is approx. 5/32" and the spline a little smaller. Let me know if I can help more.
The washer is approximately 2" and is held in place by the flange on the arm. the spacer is sandwiched in between the washer and the arm. Let me know if you need any more shots or measurements.
My washers are the same size as the chrome bezels/spacers. Only way they can be seen is if you push in the upholstery. Not sure if the spacers hold them in place or the size of the hole is close to the size of the spline. I'll yank one out in the morning and check.
I bought mine from Steele and they are close but not quite right either. No chance they will fall out but it's impossible to roll up the door window with the quarter window closed.
As a life long land surveyor that has used survey quality GPS from the start I can assure you that is not anywhere near as accurate as a calibrated speedo. Companies claim all kinds of accuracy that is not even close. And remembering you have to have a line of sight to the satellites they are...
Sorry for the lousy photos but the sun and reflections weren't helping. You can see the chrome strip above the display that should be behind the top of the cut out. Since the display and buttons are add on pieces to the radio unit there may be a way to fab another bracket or drill and tap...
