I used dremel tool with a small grinding wheel and a couple of files to cut away to excess plastic. Just enough to squeeze in the radio mounting bracket without distorting it. I kept the lower straight edge from the original hole and took the extra from the top. The radio is a tad longer than the original so I wanted it as high a possible as it is a tight fit between the back of the radio and transmission hump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fits nicely in the gauge panel.
