Also See: Main Forum discussion
DIN-mount radios are the same size as the original, but do not have shafts in the front. Instead they attach at the sides of the radio.
First, cut out the facia. Cut out the metal around the radio to fit a modern DIN-chassis receiver:
Rectangle cut larger, radio shaft holes now missing
Compare to an uncut dash:
Fabricate a DIN adapter bracket (or modify a commercial one).
Create a bezel, by modifying the stock radio delete plamote:
Carefully cut the center out of the delete plate:
Fit the bezel to the radio:
