Moderators PB260Z Posted March 2, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 2, 2017 Hi For all things Original Radio Gav is your man. If you want an older looking unit but with latesst internals have a look at Retrosound http://www.retrosoundusa.com.au/index.php?l=product_detail&p=299 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted March 2, 2017 Administrators Share Posted March 2, 2017 I've got a few, but none I'm willing to sell for what is deemed "reasonable" prices by many . I plan to restore / refurb and sell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircobra Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 i realise they are pricey, so just need the overall dimensions of the box sot hat i can work out which unit will fitcould you r could you run a ruler over one pls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GongZ Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Here are my measurements of an Hitachi TM-1018ZB. They do not include a few screw heads that project about 3mm. Modern radios/stereos/head units are either single DIN or double DIN (double-height); "The measurement of a standard DIN slot is 2-1/8” (50mm) height by 7-1/8” (180mm) width." Therefore any single DIN unit should fit. Edited March 3, 2017 by GongZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aircobra Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 how does it actually mount? i can see the screwas at the back. is it supported by just the face plate at the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GongZ Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 how does it actually mount? i can see the screws at the back. is it supported by just the face plate at the front? Yes - the radio is fixed to the face plate by the nuts on the control shafts, and the face plate is fixed to the dash with 4 visible screws.

GongZ Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 It is good practice to add a support or bracket on the back of the unit as well. Well that is what I do. I was responding to how the original radio is fitted - i.e. it also has two screws on the sides as shown in the 'TOP' view photo above. I agree that radios/head units do need additional support, rather than being simply cantilevered from the face plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
