Title: Where to get a single din stereo plate?
Post by: koolance on August 22, 2007, 08:14:41 PM
Cant seem to find anywhere selling them for the rx7? any ideas?
 
Want to fit my stero and 3 gauges (got a plate to hold the gauges, just need something to hold the stereo and glue this plate to)

Fitted my single DIN head unit last weekend, it came with a cage and sits quite happily in that (at the bottom though, thought it might be a bit unstable at the top).

I\'ve bought a metal DIN gauge pod that has clips on either side to keep it in place above. Works fine on my DC5 so I\'m assuming it will in the FD too.

This is the one I\'ve bought, looks identical to the one in my DC5 so it should have clips on either side on the back, I think you can just make one out bottom-left of the larger pic: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RaidHp-Triple-52mm-Meter-Gauge-Holder-Radio-Din-Size_W0QQitemZ220142681528QQihZ012QQcategoryZ72215QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItem

I bought one of them and the gauges didnt fit in as the bents for the steps are right on the edge of the holes for the gauges.

Hmm, I think it was a little tight when I fitted the last one, but it worked OK.
