Done a search but still unsure, do I just buy an mx-5 din plate and it will fit the rex? Fed up of radio 2!!:Snoring
anyone fitted a single din stereo? How did you do it?
Hi Cally,
Personally, when I removed my Japanese Pioneer double din unit, I replaced it with 2 single din cages. I put my head unit in the top one and made 2 small brackets for the lower one, to which I attached an aluminium blanking plate that I fabricated (I covered it with the Carbon Fibre film to finish it off).
I was happy with the result and it allows me to add switches or maybe a couple of guages in the future.
No pics at the moment but I\'ll try to sort some out if you want to take a look?
Dan.
Yeah that would be good. Thanks.
Was kindo hoping there was a part i could buy (I am a bit lazy at times) but if i have to make something, so be it.
It looks like some peeps are using the MX5 part, have a search for \'single din\' it\'ll show you routes others have taken.
I\'ll post up a pic of mine at the weekend for you.
Hello mate.
I got a standard din pocket from halfords and fitted my single din stereo on top....dead easy. I\'ve attached a pic.
Cheers
Adam
Looking good! Think Adam\'s is probably the most straight forward - looks like a good result + you get a handy cubby hole.
Adam - What kind of price are they asking for one of these please mate?
Can\'t remember mate, about a tenner i think.... nothing that breaks the bank.
Cheers
Adam
how are the 2 secured in? Does anyone know where to get the ones with the wee doors?
Have a look at ArmorAuto.com I think it is.
They sell DIN plates to trade, Ray Smith in Edinburgh stocks them but I think you can browse the catalogue online.
ps: visit the Scottish Meet thread mate, you\'re wanted ;)

Went for the same idea as Adam myself, cant fault it!
I originally tried to get some brackets from Mazda, but they charged me £30 and they arent right (good old Mazda!)
Chris
I\'ll probably pick one up at the weekend then, still would have liked the one with a door though! lol

Sorry to hijack the thread, but where did you get your carbon dash mate?
:cheers
I got the one meant for an MX-5, i haven\'t actually fitted it yet though (still re-doing the dash), but i think it may actually be slightly too big and will need some re-jigging to get it to fit correctly.
If the halfords one above fits straight in, i\'d go for that.
I got my carbon dash from japan... it\'s a mazdaspeed one and is actually only carbon look. If you need help sourcing one let me know though they aren\'t cheap :(

Nah, not to worry, I\'d really love one but won\'t pay silly prices for it... maybe I\'ll wait for someone whos doing a small batch of carbon moulds or something...
Had a look on http://www.rotaryart.uk.com the prices for original, new interior parts is bloody madness (not rotaryArt\'s fault)... look here (http://www.rotaryart.uk.com/acatalog/New_3rd_gen_interior.html) for a laugh... " a door cubby hole for£185" :D :D :D Oh, you\'re not joking.. :(
