Hey! I didn't want to spend anymore money than I had to!

And when looking in the garage for something to use.

I had many computers (about 65) sitting around waiting to throw in the recycle bin.

I cut one end with tin snips and covered the sharp edges with foam tape nad secured the tape with a wire tie no exposed sharp edges.
I also tied up the wires that the brkt had supported

I wiggled the other end loose of the spot weld very easy

Thank you for sharing your install Larryw1. Here is a pic of mine after reading your post.

Eventually I want to switch out my cb for a vhf.



Now I wish I had a better spot for this...



Maybe I can put the siren in the ash tray area and get a single din CD player and put a vhf radio in the other din below the CD player.

Have any you guys taken out your double din radio and put in two single din radios?

Pic don't do it justice. (Before I hid wires) You only see a little wire on either side... Like between the floor mat and transmission hump. When i get weathertech mats it'll be hidden though
