I used some metal duct hanger cut up and screwed it to the side of the radio in the holes that are already there, made my own bezel using bondo paint and my stock bezel modified

cost about 10 bucks for everything.

How much does the H/U stick out? I don't have my bezel yet and I am trying to install it. I will probably end up having to make brackets for it but I don't know how far it will sit in.

I trimmed the plastic ribs on the top of the opening and was going to leave the bottom tray for support. I can only get the H/U so far because the back of hits the air duct that goes to the three center vents. I am thinking about cutting the bottom tray out and making some brackets out of thin metal so I can move it down a little bit.

Thanks for any help.
