Hello everyone,

Looking for some help in switching out my old 80’s tape deck to something newer. I know I am going to need to make the hole in the dash a bit bigger, but I am looking for some insight on how to install a bracket in the dash. The old radio is directly attached to the dash, but these new radios require a bracket of some sort. Just wondering what others have done. Any help and pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Mike

Mike,

Is your new radio a DIN mount unit?

You need a universal mounting bracket like the one below, and will probably have to fabricate a simple bracket to support the rear, which you can tie into the firewall.
