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 |

I had a similar problem, but my opening wasn't nearly as bad or as wide as yours. I went to a car stereo place and got a generic, plastic blank.
Also, you'll need to support the radio at the rear; the front plate is not made to support the weight of the radio. I made a little bracket out of sheet metal. I cut 2 holes in it and mounted one to the back of the stereo (there's usually a screw for this; it appears you have one right in the middle) and another on the car (my car had one already). There's limited space and it's a real PITA. |
