My 1969 did not have a radio in it so it is missing the radio cups. Since I did not see them in any catalog I ordered the set for a 1969 Camaro. I also ordered the wiper and headlight switch cover plate to match (they are woodgrain color). I am going on the assumption that the Nova and Camaro dash are identical in these areas.
Anyone have any experience with this?

I do not think the dashes are "identical". Mater of fact the instrument panels are different with the Camaro having round gauges that surround the steering column and the Nova having a linear speedo arangement with a gauge on each side of it above the steering column.

I realize that the actual guage cluster is different but they appear to have the same dimensions. The lower portion with the radio, headlight switch and wiper switch seems to be identical.

The lower part of the 69 Camaro dash is really close and the parts you are trying are well worth a shot. Actually the "What If Z-28 Nova" uses a 69 Camaro speedo cluster and dash pad. (That kind of dissappointed me since I do not believe that would have been a change GM would have made if they would have made a Z-28 Nova. Maybe white face gauges, but the linear speedo lets you know you are in a Nova and not a Camaro.) To support the probability of the parts working I do know for a fact that the Ash tray and glove box doors bolt between the 69 Camaro and 69-74 Novas very well as I gave an ash tray and glove box door out of a parts Nova to a guy building a rebodied 69 Camaro and they worked great.

I received the radio cups and headlight switch plate this week. Going just by eyeballing them, they appear to be a perfect fit.
Now, all I need is instructions on how to remove the headlight and wiper switch since I have never had to do this on my Camaros.
