Radio install, How to tackle this mess Options

[erwindv]

Trying to install the radio that I recently bought.


Unfortunately the previous owner cut out a part of the dash to get some gaugs in.




Anybody an idea how to tackle this mess and to firmly install the radio in the existing opening?

Under "normal" conditions, are there any accessories that I should have to install?


Thx

You might want to put a WTB ad in the classifieds to see if anyone has a stock radio plate so you can save the effort of cutting the necessary holes in a blank plate.

Do you have the connectors for your radio?

Yes indeed might do so.

I noticed that the original opening in the dash is slightly larger than the measurements of the radio.

Does it mean that the face plate together with the center bolt of the radio attached to the bulkhead of the car are the only points of support for the radio?


For the moment not any connectors yet (bought the radio bare).

I imagine that the only difficult to find connectors are these for the speakers?


I intend to buy Kicker DSC46 4"x6" speakers from Amazon and install them as mentioned on the French 914 forum although I read somewhere (cann't remember where) that a Blaupunkt Frankfurt should use speakers with an impedance of 8 ohm instead of 4.
True?
