Hello, I haven't bought the radio yet, but I have fitted speakers. At the rear I replaced the two old speakers with a central dual voice coil speaker from Retrosound. The holes for the old ones were very close to the seat belt mountings, so I cut up an old parcel shelf and welded that in place. At the front, I used another dual voice coil speaker from Retrosound and shoe horned it in.
With the front grill, I sanded the back off until I was left with the grid, then I glued on some expanded aluminium.
At least now I have stereo front and back in preparation for the radio. At the moment I'm using a £15 ebay special. Once the Retrosound is in, I'll fill the hole in the dashboard with a DIN size cup holder.

Hi Peter,
I had thought about doing similar with the front speaker - but. . .
Mounting the speaker from below the shelf you will no longer be able to use the two screws to fix the radio in place from above. That is, to use the original cubby mounts, these would need to be fixed before the speaker is in place - the OEM speaker mounted from above after the radio was in place.
No doubt you have a cunning plan :wink2:
Cheers
Chris

Hello, yes, it's so cunning I haven't thought of it yet
Hi Tim,

Smartening up the cubby frame and ashtray silver has made a world of difference, nice knobs, black buttons, perfect ! Very very cool
