I am getting ready to install my head unit into my truck and as I'm mounting the head unit into the mounting bracket... I find out it doesn't fit.

Well, it does... sort of....

It's Damn Tight!

Any thoughts?
I really hate to get the dremel out...

try taking the metal sleeve off of the h/u

vstarbob

not using a sleeve...

the head unit will not go into the opening on mounting adapter....
I can get in on one side, but no way is it going in on the other....
It's almost .125 too small...
Like I said, I hate to start cutting with a dremel... It won't ever look right...




I ordered one from Crutchfield this morning...
hope that one will be better

This is the one I used. Removed the sleeve and it fit perfect..

very interesting... any chance of slight trimming in certain spots to make it work?

vstarbob

I must have lucked out with my JVC..... No grinding...I did remove not just the sleeve but 2 additional side brackets....
