I’m installing a Becker CDR220 radio.
These are from early 2000’s Boxster. With a little Bluetooth dongle you can use the CD function to use your phone. Anyway, I’ve done this before, but can’t for the life of me remember where I got the bracket to pick up the back of the radio to the mount on the firewall. Mount:  Bracket I have used:  Installed radio:  The problem is the offset of the mount on the firewall vs the center point of the radio. I know I didn’t make that bracket. anyone know where to get one? Not sure it makes a difference, but the installed radio is in a ‘72, the new one is a ‘75. Thanks! Tom |

Try a piece of pipe strap.

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Jul 4 2022, 05:28 AM)  Try a piece of pipe strap. He got this out before I could. Plumbers tape will work, used it before. And no one will see it. Otherwise if I was pressed for it, I'd break out a tape and make one. Cardboard template, trace on some sheet metal and use some wiss cutters and a file. Paint to suit. If you bake the tacky painted piece for three hours at 300 it will harden similar to powder coat. |

I prefer to use stereo mounting strap over plumbing strap. It is heavier gauge than plumbing strap so a more solid mount, but still easy to bend.
