Hi guys,
A while back my car was broken into and they stole my radio. Apparently they broke off when the radio actually mounts. I have tried to attach a few pictures to show everyone what it looks like. As it is now, I have no idea how the radio should mount. Suggestions?

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...

Make some brackets out of aluminum and rivet/epoxy them to the plastic?

^ I'd say this may be your best bet.
Unless you want to put in all the work to change the dash. The left side looks like it still has all the mounting locations, but the right have them missing. I'd try and fab something up before replacing the whole dash for this -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |

1/8th thick by 3/4 inch wide aluminum bar stock and then use some M6 U nuts to have threaded holes or get some M6 rivnuts.
