stereo mounting kit- (below ashtray) wanted
Hi;
I'm looking for a kit to mount a modern stereo in the lower hole in my dash- I've just purchased a cool VDOdayton CDradio/Satnav thats DIN size. As I have a '79 with the early dash, this is the only place for it. Apparently Autoleads have discontinued it, and its not available from any of the suppliers- I've ordered three online and all orders were cancelled as its NLA. Anyone have one laying about or know where one may be? Many thanks, Brian |

Hi, I have one fitted to my car - its just a metal plate with two bits of metal riveted on it and a rectangle cut in the middle of it. I could whip it out and make a cardboard template and post it to you if you'd like?
As for wiring - probably easier to just hardwire the radio in or use bullet connectors. Makes it much easier then if you decide to swap - all you have to do is crimp a few bullets on, rather than having to find rare adaptor leads. Steve

Similar to that- but for a DIN mount- (just a large rectangle hole without the knobs)
I saw the thing I need on ebay US for only $8- but with shipping and duty it could be anywhere from 30-50 quid. I missed one from this country a few weeks ago- probably won't be another for quite a while. Still, I'm thinking of making one from a sheet of 3mm plastic if I can't find one over here. Thanks everyone!! Brian |

Hi Steve-
That'd be great- I'm thinking of making one out of nice thick black acrylic- getting a dremel tomorrow!!! Cheers, Brian |
