you can buy a single din surround out of a GLi or something that way the gap will now have a pocket there instead.
use you old stereo brackets on the new headunit. should go in alright then. if its a well know brand unit generally thehave multiple mounting holes on the side of the deck. |

Yeah I used a single din cover to close off the hole and was able to use the brackets off the double din unit to mount the aftermarket stereo. The wiring was the worst part for me!

depending on the headunit we'd have to modify the stock brackets.
the black L brackets have sometimes needed to be flattened a little and new holes made, sometimes they've gone straight on. seems to depend on the headunit.

I don't understand how the grey frame work that comes with the headunit fits because in the EL/Ef's there is no shelf to rest it onto. In the end i didn't use it just settling on the headunit sitting a little further back into the dash. |
