Hey that's good input, Stu. Many thanks. I've been having having trouble
finding a
suitable DIN-sized radio/cassette/CD(?) player and was afraid I'd have to hog
out
the aluminum in the dash support bracket
to accommodate a bigger radio but I really hesitate doing that. Anyone else
have a
radio that fits with minimal effort and yet has quality features?
