Now don't get me wrong, here. The radio has been in
for weeks now, and is doing just fine, thank you.
<rant>BUTTTTT ... because of the lack-of-depth in the console,
and the length of even the shortest modern car audio units,
With the mounting plate in place, the left and right threaded
shafts that mount the radio and that house the on/off/volume
and tuning shafts, stick way, way, WAY out (like an inch or
so) before terminating in the plastic knobs.
whew! end of rant! </rant>
Seems to me ... I should be able to shorten the threaded
tubes with a tubing cutter, and then "clip off" the control
"tangs" that are inside. In fact, seems to me didn't old
replacement radios came with shafts that were slightly
detented to be broken or cut off to shorten them?
Anybody out there shed a little light on this? How to shorten
the tuning chafts on an auto radio?
thanks,
chuck
