Kevin,

When I installed my DIN radio, I drilled two holes on either side of the OEM
bracket (for a total of 4 holes). These holes corresponded to mounting
points on the radio. There was exactly 1" gap on either side, so I made
spacers using sections of 1/4" galvanized water pipe. It worked great. If
I were doing it again, I would do it the same way except I would have bought
a new DIN bracket instead of convert my OEM. With the new radio being held
in place using a total of 4 points, the strap on the rear isn't necessary.
It was used on the OEM radio because without it the radio would be held only
by the front knobs.
