Please direct me to a thread if there is one, thanks.
Otherwise, do I have to remove the dash? How do I proceed? Thanks! Paul |

Pardon the late night cell phone pics, but I have rigged up a "period correct" radio to fit a standard mounting plate:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm8.staticflickr.com-7438-1369793919.1.jpg) I see how the top of the plate underlaps the dash top, thus securing it, but the bottom only abuts the knee pad (which is currently removed) leaving the radio rather unsteady. I put a mashed up but serviceable DIN box in the original slot which stabilizes the radio a bit but I can still pull the radio out at the bottom. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm4.staticflickr.com-7438-1369793919.2.jpg) Deep inside is this C-bracket but it's a bit too shallow to hold my radio (barely grabs the back of the unit). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm8.staticflickr.com-7438-1369793920.3.jpg) Another pic of the radio: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/farm6.staticflickr.com-7438-1369793920.4.jpg) So, how does the radio get firmly mounted? It can't be sticky tape, can it? Paul |
