Re: [DML] Stereo System upgrade (William F)

The bracket IS the dash in that area. The console merely frames it in
padded vinyl. That's why Henry mentioned in Message #39530 that Grady
sold him one already covered -- there are exposed bits (very little
but they would be obvious if left bare metal).

These pages from the Parts Manual sort of explain:

Think of it like a Mason jar lid: assembled it looks like one
integrated unit, but disassembled you can see that the outer piece
merely wraps around the inner piece.

Cutting a new radio opening is really not that difficult. Hundreds
(thousands?) of other owners have already done it.
